Comment: The Guideline says "Help users avoid mistakes ..." - none of the SC appear to address this aspect. THey all seem to relate to the second part "... make it easy to correct mistakes that do occur". Surely recommendations such as linear form design, clear and understanable labels, placing examples before the form control, providing instructions, etc, would address the first part.
Proposed Change:
add some SC to address "Help users avoid mistakes"
We have created a Level AA success criterion intended to help users avoid errors: "Labels or instructions are provided when content requires user input".
