How the check works

Coded wording

Aggressive or exclusionary phrasing narrows who applies. The check flags the common offenders so you can pick plainer words.

Gatekeeping

Long requirement lists and rigid year counts deter candidates who would have cleared the bar. Fewer, sharper criteria pull a wider pool.

Readability

Long sentences and corporate filler are where readers drop out. The score rewards short sentences and concrete detail.

This is a heuristic language aid, not legal advice or a compliance certification. Use it to write a clearer post, then have a human read it.
