AI Allowance Model
AI Allowance model gives you greater control over how AI detection results are interpreted by allowing you to choose how much AI involvement is acceptable before content is flagged.
Rather than applying a single AI detection threshold to every scan, AI Allowance lets you select a level that aligns with your organization's policies, academic requirements, editorial standards, or content workflows.
This feature is particularly useful for environments where limited AI assistance may be acceptable, while higher levels of AI-generated content are not.
How AI Allowance Works
Before or during an AI Scan, you can select an AI Allowance level that determines how strict the detection criteria will be.
Lower allowance levels apply stricter standards and are more likely to flag content with AI involvement. Higher allowance levels provide greater flexibility by allowing a larger amount of AI-assisted content before it is flagged.
Available AI Allowance Levels
Allowance | Description |
|---|---|
0% (Very Strict) | Flags content with the lowest tolerance for AI involvement. |
5% (Strict) | Allows only a very small amount of AI involvement. |
15% (Moderate) | Allows some AI involvement while maintaining stricter standards. |
25% (Flexible) | Allows a greater degree of AI-assisted content. |
40% (Generous) | Allows a higher level of AI involvement before content is flagged. |
Why Use AI Allowance?
AI-generated content is increasingly created through a combination of human writing and AI assistance. In many cases, users are not simply looking to determine whether AI was used, they want to evaluate whether the amount of AI involvement is acceptable for a specific purpose. AI Allowance helps organizations and individuals apply AI detection standards that match their unique requirements.
Examples include:
- Educators establishing acceptable AI use policies for assignments.
- Academic institutions evaluating student submissions.
- Publishers and editors reviewing content against editorial guidelines.
- Content and SEO teams managing AI-assisted writing workflows.
- Agencies maintaining originality standards across client projects.
- Enterprise organizations enforcing internal AI usage policies.
Choosing the Right Allowance Level
The appropriate setting depends on your goals and standards:
- Choose 0% or 5% if you require the strictest review of AI involvement.
- Choose 15% if limited AI assistance is acceptable.
- Choose 25% or 40% if your workflow permits a greater degree of AI-assisted content.
