Keel

verified submissions. Zero lies.

The private production pipeline that proved the discipline holds 209 verified submissions in its ledger. Nothing counts as submitted unless the page itself confirms it — the ledger only holds what is true.

The public repo makes no submission claims of its own. It is the tools, the gates, and the telemetry. No time windows, no projections — the figure moves only when the ledger moves.

The truthfulness contract, as engineering.

Keel only ever claims what you tell it is true: verified facts, a canonical answer bank, banded rules for gray areas, and hard gates that stop the run when a question can't be answered honestly.

1. 01
   Truthfulness gates

   Never invents experience, degrees, or answers. Required questions it cannot answer truthfully park the lead — they are never guessed.
2. 02
   Explicit confirmation

   Nothing counts as submitted unless the page itself confirms it. A task accepted is not a submission.
3. 03
   Fail closed

   Ambiguity parks the lead and moves on. The system would rather skip a real opportunity than file a dishonest one.

Every event — discovery, verification, gates encountered and cleared, submissions, outcomes — lands in an append-only telemetry log. The log is never rewritten; analysis reads it, never edits it. That is how the system improves without ever improving its story.

Open-core on purpose.

Apache-2.0. The honest parts are public; the fingerprintable parts stay private so everyone's pipeline keeps working.

• discovery & scoring
• truthful resume tailoring
• canonical answer bank
• prescreen gates
• ATS detection + capability radar
• launch-packet builder
• telemetry & dashboard

Private by design: submission-behavior techniques ATS vendors could fingerprint. Publishing them would get everyone's pipeline blocked — so they stay out of the repo.

Keep it honest.

Keel is free and open source, built and maintained by one person. If it saves you a week of job applications, consider sponsoring its development — every dollar goes to keeping it honest, tested, and improving.
