Falsely Flagged: The Evidence Pack for Anyone Accused of Using AI

Wrote it yourself, but someone says an AI did? This guide shows you what to do, step by step.

AI detectors flag real human writing more often than most people realize. Students, freelancers, job applicants and writers are being accused, sometimes with a grade, a payment or a job on the line. A detector score is a statistical guess, not proof. This guide helps you replace that guess with proof of your process.
