I get the feeling that a professional audit has a reasonable chance of being the output from lighthouse copied into a spreadsheet.

If I'm going to get shallow automated advice, I want it cheap and fast, from the source.

My last job had audits done on a semi-yearly basis and they always caught things our automated tests hadn't.

Broad stuff like providing controls for changing content (e.g. carousels) are what automated a11y tests fail on; other hard-to-test criteria includes WCAG 2.1§2.3.1 "Three Flashes or Below Threshold" and 1.4.9 forbidding "Images of Text"
