  1. Is it Critical?
    • Does it stop someone doing a thing? Can they do the thing some other way?
  2. If it's not Critical, how bad is it?
    • Is it part the core task flow?
    • Will the user encounter the error frequently?
    • How much will it slow them down?
    • Is the error in lots of places?

  • Critical - The issue stops users from accessing content or completing a task. It does not have a workaround.
  • High - The issue causes serious problems or major inconvenience to users. It has a workaround but it is difficult and not obvious.
  • Medium - The issue causes problems or frustrations for users. It has a workaround.
  • Low - The issue causes inconvenience or irritation to users. It may not need a workaround.

We also use Best Practice to note issues that aren't covered by WCAG, and fall more under usability than accessibility.
