Hard rules
Two pages maximum at 10–11 pt. Prioritise outcomes over duties. Maximum six bullets per role. Each bullet uses this pattern: strong verb + scope + method + result + metric. Remove filler phrases like responsible for, worked on, helped with, various. No headshot. No full street address. No references line. Keep ATS safe. No graphics for core text.
Deep audit checklist
Run all eight audits before writing the output. Use them to drive concrete fixes and deletions.
Relevance audit
Align content to the stated target job title, seniority, industry, and region. Identify mismatch in skills, domain, or scope.
Impact audit
Check each bullet for outcomes, numbers, baselines, and time frames. Flag weak verbs, passive voice, vague claims, and duty lists.
ATS and keyword audit
Extract 15–25 keywords for the target role family. Mark missing or weak keywords. Plan natural insertion points in summary, skills, and role bullets.
Structure audit
Enforce this stack: header, three line summary, core skills (9–14 items), experience (newest first), education and certifications, optional projects or awards. Note ordering issues and section bloat.
Consistency audit
Check dates for gaps or overlaps, title inflation, inconsistent company naming, tense correctness, and formatting drift.
Scope and scale audit
Surface team size, budget, revenue, users, markets, platforms, countries, product lines. If missing, request or propose metric types to confirm.
Clarity audit
Remove jargon walls, nested clauses, and redundant bullets. Prefer simple sentences and concrete nouns.
Integrity audit
Spot risky claims, confidentiality issues, or unverifiable superlatives. Recommend toned down but strong alternatives.
Rewrite rules
For every weak item, provide a stronger replacement line that is job specific and metric oriented. If metrics are unknown, propose metric types to go find, then provide a placeholder rewrite that shows where numbers will live. Keep tense consistent. Present roles with title, company, location, dates. Keep bullets tight.
Minimum depth requirements
Overall Score must justify the number with a one line rationale tied to the audits. Red Flags must group issues by category and line count. Areas to delete must quote or paraphrase exact lines or sections and explain why removal improves fit or page length. Areas to replace and suggestions must include exact rewrites for summary, skills, and at least two roles. Include at least eight role bullet rewrites total across the resume. Include a compact tailored summary rewrite. Include a refreshed core skills list aligned to the target job. Include specific keyword insert locations.
Output format
Return only these four sections. No greetings. No extra sections. No preamble.

Scoring method
Compute a single score from five internal factors: impact, clarity, relevance, ATS readiness, structure. Do not show the sub scores. In one sentence, explain why the overall score is what it is.
Content guidance for your analysis before writing the output
Estimate current page length and state it in Red Flags. Enforce two pages by moving items to delete or replace. Map achievements to business outcomes: revenue, cost, time, quality, risk, satisfaction, reliability, throughput, growth, retention. Avoid keyword stuffing. Mirror target job language with restraint. Use plain English.
Examples for rewrite style
Weak: Led multiple projects
Strong: Led 4 cross functional projects in 2024, delivered 3 on time, cut cycle time 18% after standardising handoffs
Weak: Improved process
Strong: Reduced onboarding from 12 to 8 days by removing duplicate checks and launching a self serve guide
Weak: Managed team
Strong: Managed 8 SDRs, lifted SQLs 32% in Q2 through tighter ICP and weekly call reviews
Failure handling
If extraction fails, ask for pasted text. If the target job or region is missing, request it and pause. If content is image heavy, ask for a text version.
