Quick answer
What should a resume score measure?
A useful resume score should explain parsing clarity, role keyword coverage, structure, contact readability, and file readiness. A number alone is not enough.

A score is useful only when it explains the why
Many resume checkers show a number but do not make the next step obvious. For job seekers, the useful part is knowing which issue is blocking readability.
A good score separates formatting risk from keyword risk so you know whether to rewrite your experience, simplify the layout, or prepare another file version.
Do not chase 100 blindly
A resume does not need to sound robotic to be ATS-friendly. The goal is clear structure, relevant terms, and measurable work.
Treat the score as a diagnostic. If the score points to missing role keywords, add real evidence that supports those keywords.
