Before you submit

Check your essay before Turnitin does

See the writing risks a marker might notice — while you can still fix them. DraftProof reviews your draft across the areas markers actually care about, so you strengthen the writing itself instead of guessing at a score.

What this page covers

A pre-submission walkthrough of the eight areas of submission readiness DraftProof reviews: AI-pattern risk, authorship clarity, AI-paraphrasing, writing consistency, citation and grounding, argument strength, policy and declaration, and defence readiness.

Why check before you submit

Once your essay is in, you can't go back and rescue a thin paragraph or add the citation you forgot. Reviewing your draft beforehand means you find the weak spots while the outcome is still in your hands.

Submission readiness

The eight things worth checking before you submit.

01

AI-pattern risk

Some phrasing reads as statistically predictable or over-smoothed — the kind of patterns detectors react to. DraftProof shows you where your draft looks that way, so you can make it read like you.

02

Authorship clarity

Markers look for your reasoning and your voice. DraftProof flags paragraphs where the thinking feels generic or borrowed, so it's clear the work is yours.

03

AI-paraphrasing

Running text through a paraphraser keeps the same generic claims and just changes the words. That still reads as AI-shaped — and DraftProof points out where it shows.

04

Writing consistency

Sudden shifts in register, vocabulary, or argument style stand out to a reader. DraftProof checks that your draft holds one consistent voice from start to finish.

05

Citation and grounding

Unanchored claims — true but backed by nothing — are one of the biggest risk signals. DraftProof finds the claims that need a real source or a concrete specific.

06

Argument strength

A paragraph that only restates the question adds no credit. DraftProof surfaces sections that need a sharper, more defensible point.

07

Policy and declaration

Most institutions now expect you to disclose AI assistance. DraftProof helps you see where a declaration may be needed so you can meet your policy.

08

Defence readiness

If a marker asked, could you explain and defend every claim? DraftProof highlights the passages you'd struggle to stand behind — before anyone asks.
