Is Idris Ravenscourt a real person

No. He is invented for this page, and so are Trellick Mutual and Kelso Water Services. The figures show a shape and describe nobody's career.

Should a business analyst list documents produced

Only where the document changed something. Twenty-eight workshops with 90 participants turned into one prioritised backlog is a deliverable with an outcome. A count of specifications written is a count of files.

What did the checker score it

97 out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The document has 181 readable words, and the volume rule's top band opens at 250.

Is removing process steps a good line

It is the best line on the page. Fourteen steps removed from sixty is a result somebody had to defend in a meeting, and it is more convincing than any adjective about efficiency.

Do I need a methodology section

No. Name the qualification with its year and let the lines show how you work. Rework falling 41% after acceptance criteria moved to refinement says more about method than a framework list.

Which design is this rendered in

Placard, one of the 21 ATS-safe layouts out of 37. It gives the role headings weight, which helps a page where two roles carry everything.

A business analyst résumé example, and the process it removed

One complete business analyst résumé, written out in full. The person is invented. The reading and the score come from the product itself.

— requirements are not a deliverable. the change is.

The business analyst example résumé drawn as a complete page in the Placard design: name, summary, the roles with their bullet lines, education and a skills row — The example below, drawn by the builder's own renderer in the Placard design. The picture was taken by pressing this page's own Use this example door and photographing what the editor rendered.

Business analysis produces a great deal of paper, and a résumé that lists the paper tells a reader nothing. This example is written out in full so you can read what the outcome version looks like, then put through the tools here so you can see what a parser takes from it. The candidate is invented. Idris Ravenscourt does not exist, neither employer exists, and every figure was chosen to demonstrate a shape.

The example, in full

An invented person. Not a real document, and not yours.

The analyst's result is somebody else's saved time

Claim handling from eleven days to six after three process steps were redesigned. Fourteen of sixty process steps removed. Rework on delivered stories down 41%. None of those is a document, and all of them came out of documents.

That is the argument for writing an analyst's page this way. The requirements, the maps and the stories are the method. A hiring manager is buying the effect, and the effect is always somebody else's time, error rate or cost.

Scope belongs in the first line of each role

Three hundred and forty staff across four teams. Two hundred and twenty thousand customer accounts. Five departments. Those numbers sit early in each block so the rest of the block can be read at the right scale.

The handover line is the quiet one: nine colleagues trained on process mapping, and the practice handed over. An analyst who leaves a capability behind is a different proposition from one who leaves a folder behind.

What the reading found

The door on this page hands the document above to the résumé builder as plain text, through the same import an uploaded file goes through, and the review shows every field beside the line it came from. Here the completeness pass found four readable sections, 105 words of experience evidence and ten distinct skills, with the diploma stored as a certification and its year kept.

The Conxfolio import review after the door opened, showing Idris Ravenscourt's example read into fields beside the rendered page, with the line saying it is an example — The real import review, opened by this page's own door. It names Idris Ravenscourt as invented before anything is saved, and it shows every field beside the line it came from.

No language model is involved. The readers are deterministic functions with their own rules, every string they emit is checked in code to be a span of the document, and a field that fails that check is dropped and counted.

What the checker scored it

The same import review on a 390 pixel phone screen, with the example notice above the accept button — The same door on a phone. Nothing is withheld on the small screen: the notice, the reading and the accept button are all there.

Ninety-seven out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% + 100 × 30% + 92 × 40% = 97, explained in the article on the score. Seven action-led lines, six of them measurable, seven lines of depth, and 181 readable words against a band opening at 250.

Six measurable lines out of seven is a very high ratio for this profession, and it is what makes a short page score well. The ATS checker shows which lines it counted on your own document, so you can see whether your ratio is the problem or your length is.

What this example leaves off

No list of documentation templates, no framework badges and no description of a methodology. A delivery manager knows what a business analyst produces; they are hiring to find out what happened afterwards.

Named systems the organisation happened to run are left off as well, unless the posting asks for them. A claims platform is a claims platform; the useful part of that line is the 340 staff who had to use it and the six days that came off the handling time.

What to change for your own

Change the domain. Insurance, utilities, retail banking, health and public sector analysis all use this shape with different regulators and different nouns. Then convert your deliverables into effects: days saved, steps removed, defects avoided, accounts affected.

Keep the qualification with its year. Keep one handover line. The guide on experience bullets covers the construction, the design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the financial analyst example, the operations manager example and the project manager example sit beside this one.
