How the gate works
This tool grades an AI-drafted piece against your own brand voice. Each signal is scored 0–2; the verdict is the weakest one — then a gate that can only make it worse.
The 6 signals
A draft that reads like a machine — generic AI-slop phrasing, hollow cadence — is demoted one band even when every dimension scores on-voice. Sounding human isn't optional, so the slop tell forces DRIFTING regardless of the score.
Why: Every one of the six voice dimensions scores on-voice — a clean sheet that reads ON-VOICE on the marks. But the draft trips the anti-slop tell: it reads like a machine. The gate demotes it one band, so the honest verdict is DRIFTING — sounding human is the part that's missing.
A clean sheet didn’t save it. The verdict is the weakest signal — and a top trigger is dispositive on its own — so it names the one thing to fix first. Grades a draft, never a person. Runs offline in the engine — nothing is fetched, sent, or published.
