Program operations
Built for agencies carrying real Title II obligations
BlueDAG is designed for teams that have to coordinate departments, facilities, right-of-way, grievances, and remediation over time.
About BlueDAG
Built by the people who do the work.
BlueDAG is a team of ADA inspectors, CASp specialists, software engineers, and compliance professionals who got tired of watching accessibility work stall after the consultant left. We build the tools and provide the support that keep government agencies moving on their obligations long after the first audit is filed.
Our Mission
Practitioners who were tired of watching compliance stall.
BlueDAG started in 2016 when a software company, Technicate, connected with two senior CASp trainers and inspectors who had a problem. They had spent years trying to align all the standards, figures, and legal information around ADA inspections in a way that actually helped their customers fix accessibility issues faster. Nothing on the market did it well.
Technicate invested in the idea and built a full commercial inspection platform with a mobile app to go with it. Once that platform was finished, the team started drawing attention from government compliance personnel. That led to the first complete ADA Title II platform. It took off from there.
Today BlueDAG is used across the ADA industry and known in construction and architecture firms throughout the country. The team that built it still runs it: inspectors, CASp specialists, software engineers, and client support staff who work with agencies directly.
Why BlueDAG exists
Software, field expertise, and program management under one roof.
Most accessibility vendors specialize in one slice of the problem. BlueDAG is strongest when those parts work together as one system.
Product DNA
Shaped by actual compliance workflows
The platform reflects how evaluations, transition planning, and reporting work in practice, not how generic SaaS software wishes they worked.
Mission
Access matters when it becomes operational.
BlueDAG’s point of view is simple: accessibility work should create visible public progress, not just consultant deliverables.

Our Expertise
Deep Knowledge Across Every Dimension of Compliance
BlueDAG's team combines three disciplines that rarely exist under one roof: regulatory compliance, purpose-built software, and hands-on field inspection.
ADA and Federal Regulatory Compliance
BlueDAG was built from the inside out by professionals who have lived the complexity of Title II compliance. The team understands the legal framework governing government accessibility obligations, from the ADA Standards for Accessible Design to Section 508 requirements and state-level regulations. That expertise is embedded directly into the platform's data structures, workflows, and reporting outputs, so that every transition plan BlueDAG produces is clear and review-ready from the start.
Software Platform Development
The BlueDAG platform was not assembled from off-the-shelf components. It was built for the operational problems that make ADA compliance hard for government agencies: field data collection at scale, multi-user coordination, and reports that are consistent and review-ready. Senior Software Developer Carina Wehr leads a development team focused on reliability, accessibility, and day-to-day usability.
Field Inspection and ADA Expertise
Victor Felix, CBO CASp, brings more than fifteen years of hands-on accessibility survey experience to the BlueDAG team. As a Registered Certified Access Specialist in California, Victor helps ensure that BlueDAG’s inspection methodology stays grounded in real field practice and accurate accessibility documentation. That experience directly informs how findings move from inspection workflows into usable compliance records.
