For content agencies running internal QA on outsourced writers
Brand-voice drift and outsource-pipeline integrity, in one report.
When writing is outsourced at volume, you need to know what’s actually human-made before it carries a client’s name. Detecto scores each piece and surfaces the signals, so QA catches AI-drafted work and brand-voice drift inside the pipeline, not after delivery.
Built for the people who review other people’s content
- Editors at independent magazines
- University writing centers
- Newsroom verification desks
- PR review teams
- Content QA leads at agencies
What content agencys typically scan with Detecto.
- Outsourced long-form blog posts
- Whitepaper drafts from third-party writers
- Web copy for landing pages and product pages
- SEO content batches at volume
The failure modes Detecto is built to surface.
- An outsourced writer ships AI-generated copy as original work
- Brand voice flattens toward generic model output across a batch
- AI-drafted SEO content puts a client’s site at risk
- Quality varies invisibly across a roster of contractors
The workflow, end to end.
Five steps. None of them is automated.
- 01
Paste or upload each deliverable as it comes in.
- 02
Read the score and confidence band as part of QA.
- 03
Open the highlighted view to see which passages read as AI.
- 04
Send drafts back for a human rewrite when the signals warrant it.
- 05
Keep the reports as a QA record per writer and per client.
Evidence that goes in the file.
A 0–100 AI-likelihood with a High / Medium / Low confidence band.
Sentence-level highlighting on the passages that moved the score.
A private, account-scoped history you can review per writer or client.
What not to do with AI detection
The same posture every Detecto reviewer reads. The score is evidence, not a verdict.
- Don’t penalize a writer on the score alone; confirm with an editor’s read.
- Don’t treat a clean score as a guarantee the work is good or original.
- Don’t present the percentage to a client as a verdict on a contractor.
- Don’t run client-confidential drafts through tools you don’t control.
