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.
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 universitys typically scan with Detecto.
- Course-level submissions across an LMS export
- Capstone projects and theses
- Application materials at admissions
- Writing-center referrals from instructors
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
The workflow, end to end.
Five steps. None of them is automated.
- 01
Submit course work, capstones, or admissions materials.
- 02
Read the score and confidence band as one input among several.
- 03
Open the highlighted view to ground any concern in specific passages.
- 04
Route flagged cases into your existing integrity process, with a human.
- 05
Retain the report as a consistent record across the program.
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.
Whatever shape the submission arrives in.
Questions universitys ask.
If this fits, these probably do too.
A probability and a paragraph of evidence, never a unilateral verdict.
