Let me jump in, because there are some things you're saying that make sense, but there are some things that don't.
I would understand if you got a résumé that was too long, that contained errors or that didn't contain important information, and you said, “Hey, we need to get more background on your educational experience. You missed identifying specific skills.” If that's what you mean by “fit the matrix”, maybe that's a conversation you had with them.
What seems to have happened here, though, is that, in order to make it compliant with the specifications they were asking for, you changed some numbers. Asking someone to provide further information is one thing. Massively inflating a number associated with a particular field or taking someone with a bachelor's degree and editing that to say “Ph.D.” is not just making it systematically compliant. That's making substantive data changes.
How did it happen that you made substantive changes to the data on a résumé and, in this case, didn't consult with the resource?
