# Reading AI detection reports: revise flagged paragraphs first

AI detection scores are easy to misread. A high percentage is not proof that a machine wrote the paper, and it is not a school disciplinary finding on its own. What usually helps first is the highlight map: which paragraphs the detector marked, and why those spans look uniform or paraphrastic.

# A practical order

1. Open the Turnitin or iThenticate AI report and skim the flagged blocks—not the whole document from line one.
2. Note structural clues the vendor FAQ often lists: repetitive cadence, generic transitions, little new evidence between sentences.
3. Revise the highest-flagged paragraphs first. Keep citations, numbers, formulas, and the claim strength you actually meant.
4. Re-export or re-check only after those edits; chasing a single score without reading highlights wastes time.

# Where HumanPen fits

HumanPen is a document-level rewriting tool: import an AI detection report (or paste selected paragraphs), and it rewrites only the marked spans while aiming to preserve layout, references, and numbers. Billing follows rewritten words. Product pages describe a free re-run path when flagged text remains above a stated threshold after a check—that is a product workflow, not a guarantee of any score or institutional outcome.

# What this is not

This note is about report literacy and careful revision of your own writing. It is not a promise to pass detection, bypass policy, or hide authorship. Follow your school or journal rules.
