Almost nothing on a résumé is false. That is what makes it hard to review.
Led cross-functional product strategy
is not a lie. It is a choice of verb. The record behind it might show ownership, or it might show attendance, and the line reads the same either way.
Working through a stack of applications, a reviewer cannot check which. So the wording is taken at face value, or it is discounted on instinct. Both are guesses about a person.
Gram reads every claim on a résumé, checks the ones that look inflated against public evidence, and shows you the wording the record actually supports. Whatever a search returns stays attached to the finding, and the original wording stays beside the new one.
The decision stays with a person.
Analysis starts when you start the review.

The company’s press release and its archived team page list the applicant as Partnerships Manager.

Where the record supports less than a claim implies, Gram proposes the wording it does support. The original stays beside it, so you can see exactly what changed.
Where a report is for employment, each applicant is asked to authorize it first and can decline. They can request a copy, and dispute anything in it.
Pass one
Each line of the résumé becomes one claim. The ones whose wording outruns what the line itself establishes are marked in the same pass.
Pass two
Only those claims are checked against public sources: scholarly indexes, code-hosting sites, company pages. Whatever the search returns stays attached to the finding.
Pass three
Where the record supports less than the wording implies, Gram proposes the wording it does support. The original stays beside it.
The reviewer
Gram does not certify any claim as true and does not make the hiring decision. The reviewer reads the claim, the evidence and the rewording, and decides.

No score or rank is attached to a person. A finding is a claim, a verdict, a reason and its sources.
Calibrated wording never replaces what the applicant wrote. Both stay on the report.
Gram does not reject anyone or certify a claim as true. The reviewer decides.
Employment. Certified by Dana Ruiz, workspace administrator, on Sep 12.

Documents and reports are deleted automatically.
A workspace administrator certifies the purpose of each check before any report is run.
For employment, the applicant authorizes the check before it runs, and can decline.

Requested by Halvard Systems for a backend engineer role. It covers 14 claims from your résumé.
Applicants can request a free copy of their report and the name of the organization it was furnished to.
Anything in a report can be disputed, and the dispute is reinvestigated.
The report and a summary of their rights reach the applicant with time to respond.
A rewrite that should not have happened costs a real applicant something. A missed one costs a reviewer a second look. Every threshold in Gram is set for the second kind of error.
The material a finding rests on stays visible beside it.
Ambiguity becomes a question, not synthetic certainty.
Every consequential hiring decision remains human.
Longer answers live on the privacy and terms pages.
Yes, within the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Gram operates as a consumer reporting agency, which means a workspace administrator certifies the purpose of each check, and the applicant authorizes it before a report is run for employment. The obligations that come with that are listed above.
The applicant can dispute anything in a report and it is reinvestigated. Gram does not certify any claim as true and does not make the hiring decision — the reviewer does. Thresholds are set so that a rewrite that should not have happened is the error the system avoids.
They are analyzed to produce the reviewer’s report and stored so the reviewer can return to them, with optional 30-day or 90-day automatic deletion.
A connected applicant tracking system, a Google Form, or a direct upload. Evidence comes from public sources — scholarly indexes, code-hosting sites, company pages — and whatever a search returns stays attached to the finding.
