Attest
Proof, not detection

Proof a human understood this.

Detectors ask whether a human made the work — a question with no reliable answer, that turns teachers into police. Attest asks whether a human can stand behind it, then makes them able to.

Watching where the writing stops looking like writing…

The old question

“Did a human make this?”

Unanswerable. Falsely accuses honest students. Dies to a paraphrase.

The question that lasts

“Can a human stand behind this?”

Provenance-agnostic. Never accuses. Closes the gap instead of flagging it.

How a defense runs
  1. 01CaptureA light editor records the writing as it happens — every keystroke, pause, and paste, kept as an event log.
  2. 02ProvenanceReplayed, each character remembers when it was written and whether it was pasted. Pasted prose has one birth; written prose has hundreds.
  3. 03SeamThe examiner finds the claim the writer is least able to defend — not the pasted one, the un-understood one.
  4. 04DefenseIt probes that claim in a live voice exchange, following up the way a sharp examiner does. You can paste an essay. You cannot defend one.
  5. 05RemediationWhen a gap opens, it stops examining and starts teaching — Socratically, until you can defend the point, then asks again.
