Originality & reports

A similarity percentage on its own is close to meaningless. We hand over the report with the draft and walk through what each match actually is.

Turnitin

See the report before your marker does

We run a similarity check on the draft we deliver, so anything a marker's setting would flag is already seen — and already answered for.

  • A similarity report on the draft we deliver
  • Matches explained: quotation, citation or genuine overlap
  • Bibliography and quotes handled the way your setting counts them
  • Paraphrasing rebuilt where a match is real
  • A clean copy after the fixes

AI writing

Human-written, and evidenced

AI detectors are imprecise in both directions, and a false flag is still your problem to answer. Two things protect you: work that was genuinely written by a person from your own material, and a record of the process.

  • Drafts written by people, from your sources
  • An AI writing report supplied alongside the similarity one
  • Passages flagged by detectors rewritten in plain voice
  • A record of drafts if your department asks for one

What a score actually means

ScenarioWhy it matters
22% — all correctly quoted method textFine. Matches inside quoted sections are not plagiarism.
9% — concentrated in a single uncited paragraphNot fine, even though the number is low. That paragraph gets rebuilt.
60%+ across the documentA composed document, not an original one. We never deliver this.
Match you genuinely meantParaphrasing rewritten in your own voice — one of the included revisions.

The number is not the verdict. The report is read as a whole: what the matches are, where they sit, and whether the writing that surrounds them is yours.
