The Four Things the Score Measures
The total is a weighted sum of four areas. Parsing asks whether the file can be read at all. Structure asks whether the sections and headings follow the conventions screening tools expect. Keywords ask whether the posting’s requirements appear in your resume. Impact asks whether the writing says what changed and by how much.
Each area is scored on its own, then weighted. A perfect keyword score cannot rescue a file that fails to parse, and a clean layout cannot compensate for a resume that never answers the job.
The report shows each area, the checks inside it and the reason for every failure. You can disagree with a specific check and fix only that one — the number is a checklist, not a verdict.
Frequently asked questions
Is the score a percentage of anything?
No. It is an out-of-100 weighted score across the four areas, built for comparison and for tracking your own changes.
Why did my score go down after an edit?
A change can fix one check and break another — a new heading may not be recognised, for example. The report names the check that moved.
Can I see the score before paying?
Yes. The score and the report are free; a plan unlocks the download and the AI edits.
