Roadmap
Esther's work so far, with dates.
Esther has been built since 2023, and has kept a dated record since its first assessment in November 2024. What has happened is set out below, in order. What comes next is decided by a rule.
The work so far.
| When | What happened |
|---|---|
| April 2023 | The trademark application for ESTHER.AI is filed. The work begins here. |
| November 2024 | The first recorded assessment, made with the site owner's approval. From here on, results are kept rather than read once. |
| November 2024 | esther.ai begins keeping a record of its own website. It has run without a break since. |
| Since then | Assessments for organizations in media, fashion, insurance, and legal services, each made with the owner's approval. |
What the work has produced.
- A record of our own, unbroken since November 2024.esther.ai measures its own website the way it measures anyone's. That record is the longest Esther keeps, and it is still running.
- Government websites, at scale.Esther has measured government websites across the country. A major city in South Florida asked for an assessment, and received one.
- Records in federal court.Esther's assessments have supported ADA cases in federal court.
Three generations, each named for what it made possible.
- Measurement. One application that assessed on demand. The result lived in the run.
- The record. Assessments began to be kept, so a position could be shown over time.
- Risk. The current generation. Judgment moved into the reasoning behind each finding, so the same discipline can extend past a single standard.
One rule decides what Esther measures next.
Esther measures risks one at a time. A risk joins only when it can be measured consistently and produce evidence a client can rely on.
ADA compliance is the risk measured today. Others join by the same rule, when they meet it.
Esther keeps its own record. Yours can start today.
Thirty minutes. Your situation, and where to begin.
