The letter you are sendingis the letter everyone is sending.

Score the one you have been reusing, rewrite it so it stops reading like a template, or write a new one from your profile, your resume and the posting. Eight weighted categories out of 100 against the posting, and fifty-five of them are whether you show the work it asks for.

Where the points actually are

Fifty-five of the hundred pointsgo to work you can show you have done.

The skills the posting requires carry twenty-five points, the qualifications it names fifteen, the responsibilities it lists fifteen. Readability carries fifteen. That ordering is the whole reason a tidy, well-structured, entirely generic letter scores in the thirties. It is also why the fix is never a nicer layout.

8 categories · 100 points · No model scores your letter — the same letter and the same posting always return the same number.

The breakdown is the score

Add the eight numbers up and you get the number at the top; the split is exact and there is no curve between them. One thing can move it, and the report names it: paste the posting back in as your letter and the score is capped at 40.

No posting is a different question

Without a job description there is nothing to match against, so you get an ATS readiness score instead — seven categories about the document itself. It is a different measure, not this one with points deducted, and the report always says which you are reading.

The same eight in six markets

The weights do not change between the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany and India. What changes is the spelling standard and the date format, and those are set before a word is written.

The three tools

Score it, fix it,or never start from a blank page again.

One tab each in the app, one engine underneath all three. The number the checker gives you is the number the other two are working against, so a rewrite that claims +30 is claiming it on the same scale.

Cover Letter Score

You keep reusing one letter and have no idea whether it does anything.

Paste it or upload it and get every category back with the points you earned in each. Attach the posting and it is scored against that posting; without one it is scored as a document. The report says which, and the breakdown adds up to the headline exactly.

What you get: Eight scored categories out of 100 with every weight published, and the ones costing you the most named first. The spelling conventions of the market you are applying in are never penalised.

  • Eight categories, published weightsThe same eight in every market, so it means one thing

Cover Letter Redesign

The letter is honest. It just sounds like everybody else’s.

The rewrite works where the points are: what this letter shows you have done that the posting asks for, in your own words. Your claims are kept; the filler around them is not.

What you get: The same letter rewritten so it stops reading like a template, scored before and after on the same eight categories. Nothing is invented — only what you already gave it is used.

  • Eleven phrases banned by name“I am writing to apply”, “team player” and nine more
  • Nothing is inventedNo achievement, metric, employer or date you did not supply
  • Scored before and afterShown as a pair only when both numbers measure the same thing
  • Five layoutsClassic, Executive, Modern, Compact and Elegant

What it refuses to do

An AI letter gives itself awayin about eleven phrases.

So the writing rules name them and forbid them. This is the list exactly as it appears in the engine, not a summary of it.

Banned openers and filler

Every one of these is refused outright. The rules also require something specific about this employer and this role, because generic praise is the single clearest signal of an untargeted letter.

  • I am writing to apply
  • I am excited to apply
  • team player
  • hardworking
  • detail-oriented
  • passionate about
  • results-driven
  • synergy
  • dynamic
  • cutting-edge
  • innovative solutions

It will not invent anything

“Never invent an achievement, metric, employer, or date. Use only what the candidate gave you.” That line is in the writing contract, and it is why a rewrite can raise your score without putting anything in your letter you would have to defend in an interview.

It will tell you not to send one

Some employers do not accept cover letters at all. Some public-sector roles want key selection criteria instead of a letter. The report says so and stops, rather than grading a document nobody is going to open.

It writes to be read by a person

Uniform, evenly weighted paragraphs are what a generated letter looks like, and hiring teams now run detectors. So sentence length varies on purpose, and acronyms are expanded on first use, but only for terms your own background already uses.

Spelling and dates are locked before the first word

Write “organization” in one paragraph and “organisation” in the next and the letter reads as copy-paste. The engine treats a mixed standard as a critical error, so the standard is fixed by market up front rather than corrected afterwards.

The questions worth asking

Do cover letters even get read?
Not always, and the tool says when. Some employers skip them entirely, and some public-sector roles want key selection criteria instead. The report tells you that rather than scoring a document nobody will open.
Won’t an AI letter be obvious?
The eleven phrases that give it away are banned by name, sentence length is varied on purpose because hiring teams run detectors, and the rules require something specific about this employer before anything else.
What is it actually scoring?
With a posting attached: eight categories totalling 100. The skills it requires carry 25, the qualifications it names 15, the responsibilities it lists 15, readability 15, the job title 10, the industry 10, its own vocabulary 5 and relevance hygiene 5. Fifty-five of that is whether you show the work it asks for.
Do I need the job description?
Not to get a score, but without one you get a different one. There is nothing to match against, so the letter is scored as a document — readability, structure, contact details, length, whether it names a role — and that is the ATS readiness score. Paste a posting in and you get the job-match score instead. The report always says which you are looking at.
Does it handle British spelling?
The spelling standard and the date format are set from your market before a word is written, across all six markets. Canada, for instance, takes US spelling with a day-first date.
What does it cost to find out?
The free plan includes 20 credits a month, and every AI tool draws from that same allowance rather than from a separate quota per tool. No card to start.

You will get eight numbers and the ones that are costing you the most. If the letter is already strong, that takes a minute to confirm, and you can stop wondering whether the problem was ever the letter.
