VOL. 01  NO. 01LAUNCH ISSUE · 2026THE PROFILE, GRADED

Today, drop your profile PDF for an honest grade on the 4 sections recruiters scan first. No hedging, no horoscopes. Brutal where it matters, specific everywhere.

§ 01 — SAMPLE

One real audit, redacted. The kind you'd actually pay for.

No screenshots of dashboards we wish existed. This is a sample report on a working VP profile, with the name and employer scrubbed. The scoring rubric is the same one we'd run on yours.

The grade is the headline. Everything else is evidence.

Six headline grades. Each composed from a sub-rubric, calibrated to the frameworks senior recruiters and hiring managers use. Each cross-checked against the population of profiles at the same seniority, function, and industry — so a B+ for a senior VP means something different than a B+ for a graduate analyst.

“The recruiter heat map is what made me pay. I could see exactly which two lines a sourcer would stop scrolling on.”— Beta user, Series C founder

The full 6-page PDF — line-by-line rewrites for the About and top three Experience entries, the exact phrasing flagged as cliché, and the highest-leverage fixes ranked by minutes-to-implement — ships with the Chrome extension. The live audit grades the 4 sections recruiters scan first, free today.

§ 02 — METHOD

Why a Chrome extension, and not “just ask ChatGPT.”

A general-purpose LLM is a brilliant intern with no glasses. It can't see the page, can't compare you to a population, and can't reproduce its own answer twice. The audit is built around the three things ChatGPT can't do.

01 / VISIBILITY

It reads the live page. The actual one.

Activity history, endorsement freshness, banner-image composition, posting cadence, mutual-connection signal — none of which you can paste into a chat window without flattening it to text and losing the signal.

ChatGPT, paste

02 / RUBRIC

One fixed rubric. Same input, same grade. Always.

Twelve sections, 38 weighted signals, calibrated to the frameworks senior recruiters and hiring managers use. Re-run the same profile a year from now and you'll get a grade that's directly comparable. Ask GPT twice and you'll get two different answers.

03 / SPEED

30 seconds, in-context. No tab, no prompt.

Once it ships, you'll pin the extension, hit any profile, and click once — a 6-page PDF in your downloads before you'd have finished typing the system prompt. Built for the cadence of an actual job search or an actual sourcing day.

§ 03 — AUDIENCE

Built for people who'd rather be told specifically.

Three groups we built the audit for. The use-cases share a spine: time-pressed professionals who treat their LinkedIn presence like a working asset, not a vanity board.
