The Platform
BrAInWav DELTA
Your content management system manages publishing. DELTA manages what gets published. It reads every page you are responsible for, holds them against each other, and returns what no single page review can find: the answers that conflict between offices, the terminology that changed federally, the accessibility and regulation flags, and how AI tools are using your site to answer students right now.
Everything gets measured against five standards, and we work with your team to move the score. We are here to help you continually maintain and improve your site, not just build it.
The Live Dashboard
Your Whole Site, One Number
Everyone on your team gets their own sign-in, and the portal opens on where the institution stands today: the score, what moved this week, and which departments are carrying the work. Every number is live, so the score moves the moment a page is corrected.

The Analysis
What That 74 Is Made Of
A single number is only worth something if you can take it apart. Each letter breaks into the specific things we can count on your pages, with the page count behind every figure. Select any card to open that standard in full.

We Fix the DNA, Not the Paint
A redesign can look extraordinary and still send students the wrong answer. We are not a marketing agency and we are not a one-time audit. DELTA watches the layer underneath the design, across every department, and reports back continuously so your team always knows where the institution actually stands.
Automation
01Technology Does the Reading
Hundreds of pages scanned on a schedule, not whenever someone finds a free afternoon. Your accuracy score updates as the work gets done.
Consistency
02One Question, One Answer
No more seven versions of the same deadline living on seven pages. We find the contradictions across departments and resolve them into a single source of truth.
Proof
03Evidence, Not Opinion
Every finding quotes the exact sentence on the exact page. Nothing in our reporting is a judgment call you have to defend upward without proof.
Inside DELTA
Eight Ways We Keep Your Site Current
Every page you are responsible for runs through the same set of checks, week after week, and each one reports back in plain language. Select one to see exactly what it returns.
Compliance and Accuracy
Wording the federal government renamed and nobody caught. Requirements repealed years ago still posted as barriers. Every finding quotes your own page.
What We Find
Outdated terminology, repealed requirements, relocated federal resources, cost figures with no context.
Why It Matters
A student told they are ineligible never applies, and never learns otherwise.
Renamed Term Still in Use
Fix FirstWhat to Do: Replace with Student Aid Index. The surrounding explanation needs rewriting, not a find and replace.
Discontinued Program Listed as Available
Worth a LookWhat to Check: New Perkins loans ended in 2017. Repayment content is still correct; a list of available aid is not.
Accessibility
Automated WCAG 2.1 AA checks on every scanned page, aligned with the DOJ Title II web rule, with the exact element that fails and the page it lives on.
What We Find
Missing alternative text, low contrast, unlabeled form fields, headings out of order, PDFs a screen reader cannot use.
Why It Matters
The Title II deadlines are fixed. Knowing your number today is what makes the plan defensible.

Image Missing Alternative Text
CriticalWhat to Do: The banner carries the March 2 priority date, so it needs alt text that states the date, not an empty attribute.
Link Text Does Not Describe Its Destination
SeriousWhat to Do: Name the destination in the link itself so it makes sense out of context to a screen reader.
Automated checks catch the mechanical portion of WCAG. Our team layers expert review on top for the rest.
Links and Link Usage
Two questions. What is broken, and who points at the page you are about to move. The second is the one nobody else answers.
What We Find
Thousands of links checked per scan, then mapped so every inbound reference is traceable.
Why It Matters
Moving a page silently breaks the offices that linked to it, and you hear about it from students.

AI Readiness
Whether the systems answering your students can reach and read your content, with every crawler named and its access confirmed.
What We Find
Crawlers blocked by accident, pages locked inside untagged PDFs, answers no machine can parse.
Why It Matters
If an assistant cannot read the page, your institution is absent from the answer entirely.

AI Answer Auditing
We ask the assistants what students ask them, grade every answer, and trace each one back to the page that caused it.
What We Find
Contradictions between assistants, answers sourced from peer institutions, and outright content gaps.
Why It Matters
This is the conversation that decides where a student applies, and you are not in the room.
"How do international students get an I-20?"
Root Cause: No page covers international document procedures, so this is a content gap rather than an inaccuracy.
Recommended Fix: Publish the process on your international student landing page so it is verifiable from your own domain.
AI Traffic Tracker
Traditional analytics count people. They do not count the AI systems now reading your content on students' behalf, or tell you which pages they are drawn to.
What We Find
Every crawler named, its share of your traffic measured, and the pages it returns to most.
Why It Matters
Roughly a third of the reads on your site are now machines, and you cannot manage what you cannot see.

Regulation Corner
We monitor NASFAA, StudentAid.gov, FSA Partner Connect, Dear Colleague Letters, FERPA guidance, and state residency rules, then cross-check each change against what your pages actually say.
What It Does
Turns a regulatory change into a named list of your pages, with the sentence that now needs to move.
Why It Matters
The rule changes on a Tuesday. Your website should not still be answering last year's version in November.
OBBBA Loan Limits: New Parent PLUS Caps
Action NeededNew annual and aggregate Parent PLUS caps apply to loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2026. Any page stating Parent PLUS is limited only by cost of attendance now needs the per-dependent caps instead.
Affected Pages: Types of Aid, Parent Loans, Cost of Attendance, Policies and Guidelines for Students
ADA Title II Web Rule: WCAG 2.1 AA
Plan NowPublic institutions must meet WCAG 2.1 AA across web content and mobile apps. Your Accessibility scan is already reporting against this standard, so the gap is measurable today.
Curious what Regulation Corner would flag on your site this morning?
Test Drive Regulation CornerThe Playbook
Your accessibility standards, plain-language rules, and institutional terminology, loaded once and enforced on every future scan across every department.
What It Does
Turns the standards you already agreed on into rules the platform checks site-wide, automatically.
Why It Matters
A style guide nobody can enforce is a document. This makes it a control.

House Rule: Descriptive Link Text

The Assistant
Ask Your Website a Question, in Plain English
Every scan, finding, and regulation update feeds an assistant built into DELTA. Your staff ask it the way they would ask a colleague who had read all 198 pages that morning, and it answers only from your own content, with the page behind every claim.
Do any of our pages still say EFC?
Yes, on six pages. Four explain the old formula and need rewriting, not a swap. Two mention it once in a glossary line and can be changed directly.
Draft the replacement for the loans page
Here is a version using Student Aid Index, following your Playbook rule for plain language and your reading-level target:
Want me to draft the other three?
Grounding
01Grounded in Your Pages
It answers from your scanned content, your findings, and your Playbook. If the answer is not on your site, it says so instead of inventing one.
Traceability
02Every Answer Cites a Page
You get the URL with the response, so anything you forward to a colleague or a vice president can be verified in one click.
Output
03It Drafts the Fix
Finding the problem is half the job. Ask for replacement wording and it writes it in your institution's voice, ready to paste into the CMS.
Building It Is the Easy Part
Plenty of firms will launch you a website and send an invoice. We are here to help you continually maintain and improve yours, which means we are still measuring it on day four hundred, and on the Tuesday a federal rule changes, and every week your team publishes something new.
