Writing claims that survive a screen
Last updated 6 August 2026
A claim is one statement a reader can check. "Led the migration of 40 services to Kubernetes" is a claim. "Extensive DevOps experience" is not.
Rules
- One fact per claim. Split anything with an "and" in it.
- Attach the evidence — repository, ticket, publication, reference.
- Numbers beat adjectives. Scope, volume, duration.
- Never claim what you cannot show. A flagged claim costs more than a missing one.
