How it works
1
109 patterns, 3 tiers
Tier 1 catches banned words (delve, leverage, utilize). Tier 2 catches signal phrases ("Let's dive in," "Here's the thing"). Tier 3 catches structural patterns (no contractions, sentence stacking, dramatic one-liners).
2
Weighted scoring
"Delve" is worse than "enhance." Each pattern has a weight from 1-3. Your total weighted score determines the verdict: Clean, Light Edit, Moderate, or Heavy.
3
Fix suggestions
Every hit comes with a specific fix. Not "make it better" — actual replacements and rewrites. You decide what to change.
This is not GPTZero.
AI detectors answer "was this written by AI?" — a yes/no guess that's increasingly unreliable. Sloppy answers "where does this sound like AI, and how do you fix it?" Different question. Actually useful.
