## Warned against

- UserWay: 11 of 12 labels negative. "Avoid entirely: accessiBe, UserWay, and any other pure JavaScript overlay claiming automatic compliance." (DeepSeek V4 Flash, negative prompt)
- AudioEye: 9 of 21 labels negative. "Publicly traded but still deploys overlay layer; hybrid model obscures what "human" work is actually performed" (Kimi K2, negative prompt)
- EqualWeb: 8 of 9 labels negative. "Strongly Avoid: Accessibility Overlays/Widgets - Examples: Tools like AccessiBe, UserWay, EqualWeb" (Grok 4.1 Fast, negative prompt)
