Why this tool refuses to write the essay
Every Indian university's examination regulations treat submitting someone else's writing as your own as misconduct, and generated text is not exempt. The penalty is rarely a warning: it is a zero on the module, a note on your record, and in a repeat case a bar from the examination itself.
The slower cost is worse. An essay is where you learn to hold a position for 2,000 words, and a degree keeps testing that skill — in the viva, the closed-book paper, the dissertation. Outsourcing the first three essays leaves you unable to write the fourth, with less time to learn.
So this tool starts where a good tutor starts: with your draft. It reads what you have written and reports what a marker would see in the first two minutes, before they read a word for content. Fixing those six things is work you can honestly claim credit for.
What the six checks measure
Structure looks for at least three paragraphs, since an argument needs an opening, a body and a close. Paragraph balance flags any paragraph past 200 words, which usually means two ideas fused together, and more than one under 40 words, which usually means a point you dropped before developing it.
“Claims are supported by sources” expects roughly one citation per 400 words, with a floor of two. A 2,000-word essay therefore needs five before it passes. Both forms are counted: parenthetical ones like (Smith, 2019) and numeric ones like [1], so IEEE and Harvard drafts are read the same way.
The last three read tone. Hedges — very, really, quite, basically, actually — are counted against a budget of one per 200 words. Sentences past 40 words are flagged once they exceed a tenth of the draft. First-person use is flagged only above one occurrence per hundred words, so a single methodological mention of yourself passes.
Reading the result without over-correcting
A failed check is a prompt to look, not an instruction to change. “Voice suits academic writing” fails on first-person density, but a reflective portfolio or a methods chapter is meant to be written in the first person. Your department's guidance beats a threshold every time.
Citation density is the crudest of the six. A literature review may carry three sources a paragraph; a philosophy essay building one sustained argument may honestly need four in total. The count tells you whether you have supported your claims at all — it cannot tell you whether the sources are any good.
Fix in this order: structure first, then paragraph balance, then citations, then tone. Rewriting sentences in a paragraph you are about to split is wasted effort. Paste the revision back when you are done, and the six checks run again on the new text.
