No black box. Here are the signals we analyze, how the score is built, and why every result comes with a confidence range instead of fake certainty.
A detection score you can't interrogate is just an accusation. Every BareGPT result shows which sentences drove the score, which signals fired, and how confident the read is — so a flagged result is the start of a fair conversation, not a verdict.
What we analyze and how the result is built
Twelve stylometric signals: sentence-length uniformity, n-gram repetition, transition density, vocabulary variety, function-word ratio, character entropy, punctuation patterns, sentence-opening repetition, compressibility, and structural formatting.
Every scan shows the exact sentences that drove the score and the reason each was flagged — plus a per-signal breakdown of how much each pattern contributed to the final result.
Verdict thresholds are calibrated against test sets of known human and AI writing, and results include a confidence interval that widens for short or ambiguous text — so you always know how much to trust a score.
No AI detector is proof. Polished human writing can look model-like; edited AI text can look human. Every report states its false-positive risk, and we recommend detection be used to start a conversation, never to end one.

Detection analyzes a finished text — which means it can only ever estimate. Authorship verification works differently: write in BareGPT's editor and it records your drafting process as it happens — revisions, progress, and time spent. If your work is ever questioned, you have evidence of how it was written, which no detector score can provide or refute.
You can also compare a draft against a known writing sample with the style fingerprint: we measure sentence cadence, rhythm variation, transition habits, vocabulary variety, and punctuation patterns against the author's baseline and flag deviations with explanations.

No AI detector can prove how a text was written. Use scores and evidence to inform a fair conversation — never as the sole basis for an accusation, a grade, or a decision about someone's work.
Common questions about how detection works
BareGPT analyzes stylometric signals in your text — sentence-length uniformity, phrase (n-gram) repetition, transition density, vocabulary variety, function-word ratios, character entropy, punctuation patterns, and structural formatting. Each signal is weighted and combined into a 0–100 score, and every scan shows you which signals contributed and by how much.
Lower scores indicate the text reads like natural human writing; higher scores indicate model-like patterns. Thresholds are calibrated against test sets of known human and AI text. Scores in the middle mean mixed signals — which we tell you honestly instead of forcing a verdict.
Because a single number overstates certainty. Every result includes a confidence interval based on text length and signal strength, plus an explicit false-positive risk. Short or stylistically unusual text produces wider ranges — and we say so.
No. No detector — ours included — can prove authorship from the final text alone. Scores are risk signals to support a fair conversation. That's why we pair detection with authorship verification, which records the writing process itself.
You can provide a known writing sample from an author, and BareGPT compares the draft against it across sentence cadence, rhythm variation, transition usage, vocabulary variety, and punctuation habits. Deviations from the author's natural style are flagged with explanations.
When you write in BareGPT's editor, it builds a record of your drafting process — revisions and progress over time. If your work is ever flagged by a detector, you can produce evidence of how it was written, not just a score arguing in your favor.
At least 150 words; 400+ words gives noticeably steadier results. More text means more patterns to analyze, a narrower confidence range, and lower false-positive risk. Very short text produces low-confidence results, and we label them as such.
BareGPT is designed for prose in English: essays, articles, reports, application letters, and professional writing. Poetry, code, heavily technical writing, and highly formatted documents produce less reliable signals.
