Most resume bullets fail for the same handful of reasons: weak verbs, no numbers, jargon, and vagueness. This tool audits each bullet against those failure modes and scores it 0–100.
What it checks (five dimensions).
- Verb strength — does the bullet lead with a strong action verb (Architected, Shipped, Migrated, Drove, Closed) or a weak one (Worked, Helped, Was responsible for)? The verb dictionary is tuned per industry (Tech, Product, Sales, or General).
- Quantified metrics — does it contain a hard number, percentage, dollar amount, time saved, or multiplier (3x)? Bullets without numbers read as opinion.
- Length — too short (< 8 words) is vague, too long (> 30 words buries the point). The sweet spot is 12–25 words.
- Jargon — hits on a buzzword blacklist (synergy, leverage, rockstar, ninja, thought leader, best-in-class…). These dilute credibility.
- Word variety — flags words repeated 3+ times, a sign of lazy writing.
How to read the score. The overall number is a weighted blend; the per-dimension bars show you exactly where to focus. Each bullet also gets concrete suggestions ("add a second metric", "drop 'synergy'") and a rewrite template like Migrated <what>, <metric>% across <scale>, resulting in <outcome>.
Why not just ask an AI. You can — but a deterministic rules engine is reproducible, instant, and works offline. It catches the objective problems (no number, weak opener) that every bullet should fix before any stylistic polish. Fix what this tool flags, and your bullets will already be in the top quartile.
