Readily Achievable

A legal concept from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) meaning that barrier removal is easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense. What qualifies as readily achievable is measured in context — large, well-resourced organizations are expected to remove more barriers than small businesses. In digital accessibility, the concept has been adopted as a prioritization framework: fix barriers that are easy and inexpensive to address first, then systematically revisit remaining issues as resources allow. This approach supports progressive improvement rather than requiring immediate comprehensive compliance.
