The **AI Resume Analyser** gives your resume a readiness score out of 100 and explains every
deduction. It costs 2 credits.

## What it is judging

Not whether the file parses - that is [the ATS check](https://www.revquix.com/docs/resume/the-ats-check), and it is free daily. This is a
judgement about **content**: whether your bullets make a case, whether your summary says anything,
whether the evidence supports the claims.

## The report

Three things, and the score is the least useful of them:

1. **A score out of 100**, built from eight weighted dimensions. It is arithmetic, not a model's
   impression - [how your score is
   calculated](https://www.revquix.com/docs/resume/how-your-score-is-calculated) publishes the exact weights.
2. **Findings**, graded and grouped, each saying what was seen and what to do - [reading your findings](https://www.revquix.com/docs/resume/reading-your-findings).
3. **Suggested rewrites** for the bullets costing you the most.

> **Note** - Read the findings, not the number
>
> Two resumes at 72 can have entirely different problems. The score summarises the list; the list is
> the actual output, and it is the only part you can act on.

## Scored for your stage, not against everyone

A fresher and a director are read for different things, so they are weighted differently - skill
evidence matters most early, career scope matters most late. The profile is picked from the dated
employment in your resume, and it shifts what is weighted rather than what is achievable.

⚠ One thing can override everything: **if your resume cannot be parsed, the score is capped at 55**
no matter how good the writing is. Both are explained in [how your score is calculated](https://www.revquix.com/docs/resume/how-your-score-is-calculated).

## What it cannot see

- **Whether your claims are true.** It reads what you wrote.
- **Whether you are right for a specific job.** That is [JD ↔ Resume Match](https://www.revquix.com/docs/resume/matching-a-job-description) - a
  different question with a different tool.
- **Your market.** Conventions differ by country and industry; the score reflects broadly
  applicable practice.

## Using it well

1. **Run it once you have a full draft**, not on a skeleton. A half-written resume scores badly for
   reasons you already know.
2. **Fix the top deductions**, which are ordered by impact.
3. **Re-run when you have made real changes** - not after every edit. It costs credits each time,
   and a score does not move meaningfully on one reworded bullet.

> **Warning** - Do not optimise for the score
>
> Past a point you are writing for the rubric rather than the reader. A high score with generic
> content loses to a mid score with a specific, verifiable record - the score is a proxy for a hiring
> decision, not the decision.
