Pruuva

FOR INSTITUTIONS

Academic integrity that scales without compromise

AI detection tools flag text. Pruuva helps institutions collect evidence of demonstrated understanding. Build an assessment integrity workflow that is reviewable, policy-driven, and defensible under scrutiny.

THE CHALLENGE

Detection is failing higher education

55%
of faculty

report that AI tools have made it harder to assess whether student work reflects genuine understanding.

can prove a student doesn't understand their own work. Detection tells you about the text — not the student.

HOW IT WORKS

Verification, not detection

Pruuva reads each student's submission and conducts artifact-specific probes — asking students to explain the claims, choices, and reasoning in their own work. The result is structured evidence of understanding, not a probability score.

STEP 01

Pilot with a department

Start with a single department or course. Faculty assign Pruuva assessments alongside existing assignments. No course redesign required.

STEP 02

Review the evidence

Instructors receive per-rubric comprehension reports with quoted transcript evidence. Administrators see aggregate patterns across the pilot.

STEP 03

Expand across campus

Roll out to additional departments with institutional policies, centralized reporting, and LMS integration. Scale at your pace.

PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

Built for institutional requirements

Compliance-ready architecture

Designed for institutional review with encryption, configurable retention policies, role-based access, consent records, and DPA-ready workflows.

LMS integration path

Built to fit assignment workflows in Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and Brightspace as institutional integrations become available.

Institutional dashboard

Aggregate view of assessment completion rates, understanding distributions, and flagged concerns across departments. See patterns, not just individual cases.

Configurable policies

Set assessment depth, accessibility accommodations, and grading workflows at the institutional level. Standardize academic integrity processes across departments.

Complete audit trail

Full audit log of every assessment session, grade decision, and instructor action. Designed to support accreditation review, grade appeals, and institutional reporting.

Faculty onboarding & support

Dedicated implementation team, faculty training sessions, and ongoing technical support. We help you roll out, get adoption, and stay running.

CONTROLS & OPERATIONS

Guardrails, not afterthoughts

Access control, consent, visibility, retention, and diagnostics are built into the platform — not bolted on after deployment.

Roster-gated access

Only enrolled students can submit. Pruuva validates identity against your class roster before accepting any work or starting any defense session.

Results visibility controls

Choose exactly when students see their feedback: immediately after defense, after the assignment deadline, after instructor grading is complete, or never. You control the timeline.

Consent capture

Every defense session begins with a monitoring notice and recorded consent. Students explicitly acknowledge that their session will be transcribed before any questions begin.

Configurable data retention

Set institutional data retention policies that match your compliance requirements. Define how long submissions, transcripts, and evidence records are stored — and what happens when they expire.

Admin diagnostics dashboard

Monitor session health in real time. See failed sessions, missing reports, and defense completion rates across departments. Surface problems before they become complaints.

Defense reset

When a session fails due to technical issues, teachers can retry the defense without losing the original submission. No student has to resubmit because of a connectivity glitch.

Automated email notifications

Workflow-driven notifications at every stage: assessment published, defense invitation sent, defense completed, grades released. Everyone stays informed without manual follow-up.

EVIDENCE FOUNDATION

Evidence that holds up under scrutiny

Every assessment creates a durable evidence chain — from student identity through submission, defense, analysis, and final grade. Nothing is lost, nothing is silently changed.

Capability evidence events

Every assessment creates a durable evidence chain: student identity, submission, defense session, evidence analysis, and final grade. Each link is individually verifiable.

Versioned audit trail

Every evidence event is versioned. Edits, overrides, and grade changes create new versions — nothing is silently overwritten. The complete history is always available for review.

Review-ready records

Evidence records support grade review, accreditation reporting, department pilots, and institutional decision-making.

AI DETECTION TOOLS

What detection gives you

  • Probability scores that vary between tools
  • False positives that disproportionately affect ESL students
  • No evidence of whether the student understands the work
  • Adversarial arms race as AI writing tools improve
  • Reactive investigations that damage student relationships

PRUUVA

What verification gives you

  • Structured evidence of what each student actually understands
  • Designed to evaluate demonstrated understanding, not writing-style patterns
  • Per-rubric comprehension scores with quoted transcript evidence
  • Proactive review that can surface integrity concerns earlier
  • Defensible evidence for grade appeals and accreditation

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions from institutional leaders

How does Pruuva differ from AI detection tools like Turnitin or GPTZero?

AI detection tools analyze text to guess whether it was AI-generated. They produce probability scores, not proof. Pruuva takes a different approach: it asks students to demonstrate understanding of their own work through artifact-specific probes and produces evidence instructors can review.

What does the implementation process look like?

We recommend starting with a pilot in one or two departments. Faculty assign assessments alongside existing work — no course redesign needed. After the pilot, we help you define institutional policies and roll out with LMS integration and centralized reporting.

Is Pruuva fair for non-native English speakers?

Pruuva is designed to evaluate demonstrated understanding, not language fluency or prose style. Students demonstrate what they know, and instructors review evidence rather than relying on a detector flag. Assessments are currently conducted in English.

How does Pruuva handle accessibility?

Extended time accommodations, type-to-respond mode, and screen reader support are built in. Pruuva is designed to meet institutional accessibility requirements.

What happens to student data?

Student data is handled with encryption, consent records, access controls, and configurable retention policies. Pruuva does not use student submissions or assessment conversations to train its own generative AI models.

Can Pruuva integrate with our LMS?

LMS integration with Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and Brightspace is planned and in active development. During early access, assessments are assigned and completed through the Pruuva platform directly.

What does institutional pricing look like?

Institutional pricing is tailored to your scale and needs. We work directly with your team to design a plan that fits. Early access partners get founding-member pricing — the most favorable rates we'll offer.

Build integrity infrastructure that lasts

We're partnering with institutions who want to shape how academic integrity works in the age of AI. Early partners get founding-member pricing and direct input on the workflows institutions need most.
