COMPARE PRUUVA
Detection and surveillance ask the wrong questions
AI detection tools guess whether a student used AI. Proctoring tools monitor behavior during exams. Pruuva asks whether the student can demonstrate understanding. See how that difference plays out against every major tool.

IF YOU ARE REPLACING DETECTION
Start with evidence of understanding
False positives, student appeals, and detector scores that don't help instructors grade — if any of these sound familiar, start here to see how evidence-based verification solves what detection cannot.
IF YOU ARE REPLACING PROCTORING
Move from surveillance to reviewable capability evidence
Webcam monitoring, lockdown browsers, and room scans create friction without clarity. See how reviewable capability evidence gives instructors what surveillance never could — proof of understanding.
IF YOU'RE BUILDING A CASE FOR CHANGE
Frame the decision around pilot outcomes
Presenting to a department chair, dean, or academic integrity committee? A focused pilot that measures grading confidence, student completion, and evidence quality makes the case with data, not slides.

AI DETECTION & PLAGIARISM TOOLS
These tools analyze text to estimate whether it was AI-generated or copied. They produce probability scores, not evidence of understanding.
