The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Resume Worded, score a resume against transparent rules and a user-supplied job description. The hard boundary is proprietary benchmarks, recruiter-authored feedback, examples, and workflow, plus data, distribution, and coaching.

# Resume Worded indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Resume Worded workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Score a resume against transparent rules and a user-supplied job description, tailor user-authored materials to the role, and keep every claim traceable to the user's own evidence.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- proprietary benchmarks, recruiter-authored feedback, examples, and workflow
- proprietary recruiter data
- job-board distribution
- human coaching
- automated application networks

If those capabilities are essential, use Reactive Resume instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

People still pay for Resume Worded because people pay for convenience, curated guidance, and distribution; the personal tracking and drafting loop is highly buildable. The recurring cost buys document parsing, truthful claim handling, job-source changes, browser automation rules, privacy, model drift, and user review, not just the visible interface.
