Paste your behaviour statement and get instant feedback on structure, STAR balance, word count, and common mistakes that get sifted out.

💡 Tip

This checker looks for patterns that assessors commonly mark down. It is not a guarantee of a high score — but it will catch the mistakes that most often cause statements to fail sift.
