Accuracy✗ FailedThe experience calculation undercounted the candidate badly, showing 2 years even though the report says the resume reflects about 6.5 years of experience.Accuracy◐ MixedThe certification entries were returned without issuing organizations, so the parser dropped issuer data for both certificates.Accuracy✗ FailedThe education dates were inferred as 2015–2019 even though the source only provided a graduation date, so the start year was hallucinated.
