How the gate works
This tool grades how verifiable a job application is, to flag it for human review. It scores 6 weighted controls into a 0–100 number — then a gate that can only make the verdict worse.
The 6 weighted controls
A mark of 0 on Core claims corroborable (no independent source identified for the core claims) forces HIGH VERIFICATION NEED, whatever the score.
Why: The other five signals are at the top mark — verifiability scores 76, which is in the VERIFICATION EVIDENCE STRONG AS DESCRIBED band. But Core claims corroborable is marked 0 (no independent source identified for the core claims). The gate forces HIGH VERIFICATION NEED, whatever the score.
A high score didn’t save it. The score is context; the gate is the answer — and where something is short, the verify first row names it. This result is about document verifiability and cannot be used as a reject instruction. This instrument supports human verification review; it does not make or recommend an employment decision. It does not determine whether this tool or the surrounding workflow is an automated employment decision tool or other regulated selection procedure. Assess applicability under the jurisdictions and roles involved. Flags an application for human verification — it never makes a hiring or adverse-action decision. Verify flagged claims directly with the candidate. A risk-triage aid, not legal advice or a background check. This instrument records whether a documented, job-related verification process is applied consistently. It does not determine whether the process causes or avoids disparate impact.
