How the roll-up gate works
This tool grades a résumé's claims, to flag which ones a human must verify. It reads 6 claims and rolls them into one verdict — the worst, never the average — then a gate that can only make it worse.
The 6 claims
A material claim whose source can't be reached is UNVERIFIABLE, and one unverifiable material claim holds the whole checklist regardless of how many others check out. A degree you can't confirm isn't a degree to rely on — verify it, never reject on it.
Why: Three of the four material claims verify cleanly — backend tenure, the Kubernetes migration, and the AWS cert. But the 'MS Computer Science, Stanford' claim is material and its source can't be reached, so it's UNVERIFIABLE. One unverifiable material claim holds the whole checklist to HOLD TO VERIFY: a degree you can't confirm is a claim to verify, not to act on.
Most claims check out — but one material claim you can’t confirm is dispositive: a degree with an unreachable source is a claim to verify, not a candidate to reject. The roll-up takes the worst claim, the gate holds the checklist regardless of the score, and it names the one claim to verify first. Flags résumé claims to verify — it never makes a hiring or adverse-action decision. Verify flagged claims with the candidate or the source. A verification checklist, not a background check or legal advice; apply it consistently to every applicant to avoid disparate impact.
