HonestIQ Integrity Policy

At HonestIQ, integrity is the foundation of everything we do. Our policies are designed to ensure fairness, accountability, and equal access for all members of the academic community students, instructors, and institutions.

Responsible AI Thresholds


At HonestIQ, we believe AI should enhance education responsibly, not replace human judgment. Our platform uses customizable AI thresholds that allow institutions and instructors to define how academic integrity checks are applied.


  1. Balanced Oversight: AI highlights potential issues, but human review ensures fair outcomes.
  2. Customizable Settings: Institutions can adjust detection sensitivity to match their academic policies.
  3. Transparency: Students and instructors receive clear explanations when AI flags content.
  4. Fairness First: Thresholds are designed to prevent over-reliance on automation and protect students from false positives.


By combining AI-driven insights with institutional control, HonestIQ ensures that technology is used responsibly to support integrity in learning.
