Interpretation principles
- Confirm the reporting population and active filters.
- Review the full submission, not only highlighted sentences.
- Treat classification and confidence as model signals.
- Consider assignment rules, writing context, and other evidence.
- Follow your institution’s documented process.
- Give students the review and response opportunities required by policy.
Frequently asked questions
Does AI Only prove that a student used AI?
Does AI Only prove that a student used AI?
No. AI Only is the detector’s classification for the processed text. It can justify closer
review, but it does not establish authorship or intent.
What does the percentage measure?
What does the percentage measure?
A submission confidence or probability score describes the detector’s assessment of that
submission. Dashboard percentages can summarize a different population or metric. Read the
displayed metric description before comparing them; a confidence score does not measure the
exact share of text generated by AI.
Why are no sentences highlighted?
Why are no sentences highlighted?
Sentence-level results use separate evaluations from the overall submission. Individual
sentences may not be marked even when the complete text receives a nonzero overall score.
Why are many sentences highlighted when the score is not 100%?
Why are many sentences highlighted when the score is not 100%?
Each sentence is evaluated individually, while the overall score summarizes the full submission.
Many sentence signals can coexist with an overall result below 100%.
Why is a submission missing?
Why is a submission missing?
Confirm the course, term, date, and classification filters. The submission also must be
available to the configured integration and eligible for processing. Record the course and
submission details if it remains absent.
Why is a term missing from the dashboard?
Why is a term missing from the dashboard?
The reporting dataset must contain eligible processed results for that term. Clear other filters
and verify that relevant course submissions exist.
Why do two reports show different totals?
Why do two reports show different totals?
Compare filters, date boundaries, course scope, and whether the course report displays all
submissions. The reports may summarize different populations.
Can I use the result by itself in an academic-integrity case?
Can I use the result by itself in an academic-integrity case?
K16 documentation does not recommend that. Use the result as one input within your institution’s
human review and evidence process.
Who can see AI Detection reports?
Who can see AI Detection reports?
Access depends on the workspace’s AI Detection configuration and reporting permissions. Ask your
K16 administrator to review access when a person can or cannot open the dashboard.
A practical review record
When your policy permits it, record:- course and assignment
- submission and report date
- filters used to locate the result
- classification and overall score as displayed
- relevant highlighted passages
- contextual evidence reviewed
- reviewer and next step
When to ask for help
Contact your K16 administrator or support when:- the workbook repeatedly fails to load
- expected processed submissions remain absent after you clear filters
- course and institution reports cannot be reconciled
- your access does not match your role
