Authors and academics need more than AI detection. They need a provenance trail showing drafts, timestamps, human review, editorial responsibility, and optional interoperability with media provenance systems such as C2PA manifests.
Hash manuscript, article, dataset, pitch deck, or research note before submission or disclosure.
Records that a named human claims authorship or editorial responsibility, with optional ID verification.
Records that a human editor, supervisor, peer, lawyer, or committee reviewed a version.
Stores the author's disclosure text and version relationship without pretending to detect AI perfectly.
Position PlenaProof as the human accountability layer beside content provenance layers.
Packages timestamp, disclosure, reviewer markers, and receipt IDs for journals, SSRN, repositories, or publishers.
