AI, assessment and academic integrity
A Trace is one record with both a gain and a problem, so it counts on both sides: 5 records show a gain and 9 show a problem. 11 context records are in the record list but not counted, because they report no measured gain or problem.
| Evidence | Gain side | Problem side |
|---|---|---|
| HighStrong study design, backed by at least two independent sources | 0 | 0 |
| ModerateA measured study or an official source | 4 | 5 |
| EmergingEarly, small, unreviewed or reported second-hand | 1 | 4 |
By type of evidence: 2 interview studies; 2 benchmark or lab tests; 2 commentaries or narrative reviews; 2 controlled comparisons; 2 surveys; 2 news reports. How evidence is scored
