Methodology

Four independent checks, one Trust Score

Each pillar is a separate verification engine with its own score. The Trust Score is their weighted average, so you can always see which check moved it.

01Internal logic audit

Timeline consistency

Reads the résumé as a timeline and looks for what can't be true: overlapping full-time roles, impossible simultaneous locations, and degrees that conflict with work history.

What it catches

  • Overlapping dates
  • Impossible timelines
  • Degree conflicts
  • Location contradictions

Weight in Trust Score: 30%

02Cross-platform comparison

LinkedIn sync

Compares the résumé point-by-point with the LinkedIn Experience section you paste in, flagging title, tenure and employer mismatches. Skipped when no LinkedIn text is provided.

What it catches

  • Title inflation
  • Tenure mismatches
  • Missing employers
  • Date drift

Weight in Trust Score: 25%

03Live web verification

Entity legitimacy

Searches the live web for every employer and institution on the résumé to confirm it exists and has a verifiable footprint — surfacing shell companies and fictional references.

What it catches

  • Ghost companies
  • Unverifiable employers
  • Fictional institutions
  • Scale mismatches

Weight in Trust Score: 25%

04Release-date check

Tech anachronism

Checks each claimed technology, framework and certification against when it actually became available, catching experience that predates the tool itself.

What it catches

  • Pre-release experience
  • Impossible tenure
  • Early certifications

Weight in Trust Score: 20%
