A still screenshot cannot establish a flashing rate. It records how a card-guide icon or other screen element looked at one moment, but it cannot show whether that element appeared, disappeared or changed repeatedly over time. A screenshot is not a live-interface test.
What a screenshot can and cannot show
A screenshot can document the icon’s colour, position, size and surrounding labels. It may help identify which visual object needs review. However, it cannot establish the time between two appearances, the number of changes within one second, or whether the change was caused by an automatic animation or an interaction.
Hypothetical example: imagine a static image showing a card-guide icon in its bright state. That image alone supports only the statement “the icon was bright when captured”. It does not support “the icon flashed four times in one second”. That second statement requires a time-based record.
How the timing example is assessed
Hypothetical analysis log: suppose a recording or event log identifies four qualifying flashes during a one-second interval. Four qualifying flashes within that one-second window exceed the stated limit. That exceeds three flashes in any one-second interval, so it fails the cited AAA condition, SC2.3.2. The W3C explanation of Three Flashes distinguishes this requirement from the threshold-based Level A criterion, which considers additional factors such as size and brightness.
This is not an observation of Mantrimall. Meeting a numerical threshold is not a safety guarantee. Do not replay flashing material to count it yourself or create a flashing demonstration.
What evidence a report should include
A useful report should identify the screen or component, state whether the evidence is a screenshot, recording or event log, define what counts as one flash, and give the measured interval. It should record the number of qualifying flashes within each relevant one-second window. If the evidence is only a screenshot, the accurate conclusion is limited: the appearance is documented, but the flashing rate remains undetermined.
