Application Quality Gate

Excerpt from a fictional filled sample. Shows one Gate FAIL (stay Sourced) and the rule that blocks junk Applied.

Honest label: Fictional persona “Jordan Lee.” Not a real application, not a testimonial, not proof you will get Screens. Replace every ID with yours.

Part B — Targeting & keyword Gate

GatePass?Evidence
1. Company + role on Targeting Map as A or B❌Target is C — prestige spray
2. Correct resume_version for role family✅RV-Backend-v1
3. ≥5 posting keywords appear naturally❌JD Kafka+Java; resume Go/Postgres — 2 overlaps
4. Top 3 bullets mirror job’s top 3 needs❌Needs streaming/JVM; bullets are checkout + Aurora

Decision: FAIL. Stay Sourced. Do not mark Applied. Closing this prevented a junk Applied that would have crashed Screen/Applied in Week metrics.

Full SAMPLE also includes a PASS case (BrightHarbor · may mark Applied) + Day-0 Gate pack. Free fictional illustration — not a file from the current Core package.
