Detecto
For universitys

For universities operating responsibly on AI-assisted assignments

A program-level posture, not a unilateral cudgel for individual instructors.

An academic-integrity posture can’t rest on one instructor’s hunch. Detecto gives a program a consistent, evidence-based read on AI-assisted work, a likelihood and the signals behind it, so decisions follow a documented process instead of a unilateral call.

What’s at risk

The failure modes Detecto is built to surface.

  • Inconsistent, instructor-by-instructor handling of AI use
  • A finding made on suspicion, with no evidence to support it
  • A wrongful accusation that a fair process would have caught
  • Sensitive student work handled in tools the institution can’t account for
Where Detecto fits

The workflow, end to end.

Five steps. None of them is automated.

  1. 01

    Submit course work, capstones, or admissions materials.

  2. 02

    Read the score and confidence band as one input among several.

  3. 03

    Open the highlighted view to ground any concern in specific passages.

  4. 04

    Route flagged cases into your existing integrity process, with a human.

  5. 05

    Retain the report as a consistent record across the program.

What the report gives you

Evidence that goes in the file.

A 0–100 AI-likelihood with a High / Medium / Low confidence band.

Sentence-level signals that show the basis for any concern.

A private, timestamped record that supports a defensible, repeatable process.

What not to do with AI detection

The same posture every Detecto reviewer reads. The score is evidence, not a verdict.

  • Don’t let the score substitute for your integrity process or a hearing.
  • Don’t act on a result without giving the student the evidence and a chance to respond.
  • Don’t deploy detection as surveillance, it’s a review aid, not a dragnet.
  • Don’t read confidence bands as certainty in either direction.
