The strongest PLENA case is not another abstract page. It is a real author showing how drafts, revisions, AI-use disclosure, and final authorship declaration become a public-safe provenance chain.
The reader should not need to see private drafts. The public needs enough to know a traceable human process existed.
Record dated draft milestones: idea note, outline, first draft, major revision, final version.
Declare whether AI was used for brainstorming, editing, citation checks, translation, formatting, or not used at all.
The human author signs a narrow statement: what they wrote, what they revised, and what they take responsibility for.
I, [AUTHOR NAME], declare that this work was authored under my direction and responsibility. I preserve a private draft chain sufficient to show the human development of the work. Any AI assistance, if used, is disclosed separately by function and stage. This PLENA receipt does not ask the public to see private drafts; it gives the public a verifiable route to the existence of a human accountability chain.
PlenaProof does not compete with every content-signing protocol. Its distinctive wedge is human accountability: who stood behind the work, what they refused to overclaim, what private evidence exists, and how a recipient can verify the public record in seconds.
