- The first page should also have an executive summary of the biggest (most frequent, severe) problems, and your recommendations for fixing them. Keep this brief, you will provide more detail in the following pages.

## Accessibility of Deliverable
We expect your submission to be a Word or Google Doc. We ask that you do four things to make the deliverable accessible:
- Use headers. In Microsoft Word these are built-in "styles" and in Google Docs you can see these under "Format -> Paragraph Styles." Headers should be nested like they ar in HTML (e.g., H2 after and H1). Read [this for more guidance in how to do styles in Word.](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/make-your-word-documents-accessible-to-people-with-disabilities-d9bf3683-87ac-47ea-b91a-78dcacb3c66d#bkmk_builtinheadings_win)
