Integrity checking for research, reports and institutional writing, grounded in thousands of peer-reviewed, academic and professional resources.
Modern generative systems write with remarkable fluency, convincing terminology and rhetorical authority, yet have no intrinsic concept of truth. Polished prose can hide claims that do not hold.
Independent audits reduce undetected bias in automated decisions. Most organisations already review their models every quarter. The regulation was withdrawn last year.
Style alone says nothing about truth.

Illustrative example.
Stylistic checks cannot see inside an assertion. Assay can.
A paragraph that reads like scholarship but is hollow at its factual core.
Authors, journals and references that sound right but do not exist.
Findings stretched, compressed or invented behind confident prose.
Withdrawn studies cited for years after they were retracted.
The point is not whether the words were typed by a person or produced by a machine. The point is whether what the words assert can be traced to evidence.
Decompose, trace, verdict, seal.
The document is broken into individual, checkable claims. Argument and opinion are recognised and set apart.
Each claim is traced to evidence in Corpus Ethica and to recognised academic registries.
Every claim receives a plain verdict: supported, needs evidence, or review required.
Findings are sealed into a tamper-evident record, with sign-off proportionate to the stakes.
Every empirical claim lands on a clear spectrum. The author's voice never lowers the score.
The evidence supports the claim, with no active retraction.
The claim may be right but is not yet supported by authoritative sources.
The claim conflicts with the evidence, or cites a source that cannot be confirmed.
Argument, interpretation and stance, recognised and kept outside the score.
Integrity = Supported ÷ all empirical claims
The author's voice never lowers the score
From similarity, to authorship guessing, to verifying what is actually claimed.
Compares text against other text. Finds copying, but not whether anything is true.
Guesses at authorship from style. It cannot see inside an assertion and penalises honest writers.
Decomposes writing into claims and traces each one to evidence. Integrity becomes a question of substance.
Sealed, tamper-evident and signed in proportion to the stakes.
Routine reviews and standard assessments.
Policy certifications and curriculum releases.
High-stakes findings in regulated sectors, signed by all three.
For anyone whose credibility depends on what their documents claim.
Support academic integrity without guessing at authorship.
Strengthen the evidential basis of reports and publications.
Verify the claims behind consultations, briefings and guidance.
Assurance for documents that carry legal or financial weight.
Our models and deterministic expert engines are developed in-house, within the UK and EU, and deployable fully air-gapped.
Runs entirely on your own infrastructure when required.
Thousands of peer-reviewed, academic and professional resources.
Works alongside the Assurance Studio across the ETHOS platforms.
Assay is available through our Pilot Access programme for selected institutional partners.
