Carrados

Accessibility as information integrity.

Carrados is the accessibility and agent-first design work of Charli-Jo Tyrer.

It develops theories, design standards and practical systems for reducing information casualties across people, interfaces, assistive technologies and intelligent agents.

The work begins from a simple observation. Digital systems naturally drift towards the dominant sensory modality of their designers. As interfaces become richer and more visually sophisticated, information is increasingly encoded in ways that exclude other modes of perception. The result is not simply poor usability but information casualties: moments where relevant information fails to reach an observer in time to support perception, action or participation.

Carrados approaches accessibility as an engineering discipline rather than a compliance exercise. It asks how information can survive changes of interface, modality and technology without losing meaning, whether it is being read by a sighted person, a blind screen reader user, a voice interface or an AI agent.
