What the Pilot is

The HonestIQ Institutional Pilot is a 45-day, institution-approved evaluation designed to assess how human-led academic integrity and grading workflows operate in real instructional environments.

The pilot enables institutions to:

  1. Evaluate instructor adoption and review workflows
  2. Observe integrity analysis and grading support without automation
  3. Validate dispute resolution and oversight processes
  4. Assess readiness for institution-wide or LMS-integrated deployment

The pilot is intentionally non-punitive non-automated and policy-aligned.


Who It’s For

The Institutional Pilot is designed for:

  1. Colleges and universities
  2. K–12 schools and districts
  3. Departments or programs within larger institutions
  4. Multi-campus or phased institutional evaluations

This pilot is ideal for institutions seeking oversight, transparency, and human control over academic integrity and grading processes.


Pilot Scope & Controls

During the pilot institutions retain full governance authority over integrity and grading workflows.

Scope includes:

  1. Instructor-led flag review
  2. Instructor-controlled grading workflows
  3. Institution-defined integrity thresholds
  4. Role-based access for instructors, Institution Admins, and Integrity Officers
  5. Full audit logging of actions and decisions

Controls include:

  1. No automated enforcement or penalties
  2. No bulk or system-driven decisions
  3. No student-facing notifications without instructor validation
  4. Human confirmation required at every decision point

All actions are documented, reviewable, and aligned with institutional policy.


What the Pilot Includes

Assignment Intake (No LMS Required)

  1. Secure manual assignment uploads
  2. Instructor-initiated review only
  3. Assignment-level configuration

Integrity Review (Human-Led)

  1. AI-assisted integrity analysis
  2. Authorship consistency review
  3. Instructor-controlled thresholds
  4. No automated determinations
  5. Optional plagiarism analysis

AI-Assisted Grading (Instructor-Controlled)

As part of the pilot instructors may optionally use the HonestIQ AI-Assisted Grading Assistant to support consistent, rubric-based evaluation.

The Grading Assistant:

  1. Supports instructor-created and shared rubrics
  2. Applies consistent grading logic across assignments
  3. Generates structured, instructor-reviewable feedback
  4. Requires explicit instructor review and approval before grades or feedback are finalized

The Grading Assistant does not automate grading decisions. Instructors retain full authority to review, modify, and approve all grades and feedback.

Oversight & Governance

  1. Institution Admin and Integrity Officer visibility
  2. Policy-aligned governance workflows
  3. Role-based permissions and audit trails
  4. Institution governed threshold controls

Dispute Resolution

  1. Integrity Committee workflows
  2. Case-based review and documentation
  3. Appeal handling with institutional oversight
  4. Evidence submission and optional oral defense


What the Pilot Does Not Do

To ensure trust, due process, and institutional safety, the pilot explicitly does not:

  1. Automatically accuse or penalize students
  2. Apply institution-wide enforcement rules
  3. Replace instructor judgment
  4. Perform automated grading or sanctions
  5. Require LMS integration

The pilot is an evaluation environment, not an enforcement system.


Data Continuity

All pilot data integrates seamlessly into full deployment.

This includes:

Courses and assignments

  1. Integrity thresholds
  2. Honest Reports
  3. Grading rubrics and feedback
  4. Audit logs
  5. Review decisions and appeal history

No reprocessing, retraining, or data migration is required. Pilot artifacts integrate with the same identifiers upon institution-wide or LMS deployment.


From Pilot to Deployment

At the conclusion of the 45-day pilot, institutions may:

  1. Expand HonestIQ institution-wide
  2. Integrate with their LMS
  3. Apply validated governance policies, thresholds, and grading workflows
  4. Transition directly from pilot to operational use

The pilot serves as a direct foundation for deployment not a disconnected trial.


Yes. The 45-day Institutional Pilot is provided at no cost. There are no licensing, usage, or integration fees during the pilot period.

Yes. Students may be notified during the pilot only after an instructor has reviewed the Honest Report and confirmed the flag before enabling a notification. No system-generated notifications are sent without explicit instructor approval.

All integrity flags are reviewed by instructors. Instructors must review the Honest Report, assess the context of the assignment, and personally confirm whether a flag is warranted before enabling a notification.

No. All notifications are subject to a strict instructor validation process. An instructor must review the Honest Report, confirm the flag, and explicitly approve any student notification before it is sent.

Yes. The pilot includes a formal dispute resolution workflow governed by the institution and enforced through the HonestIQ dispute resolution framework.

Appeals are handled through Integrity Committee workflows. Each appeal is reviewed by the Integrity Committee in accordance with institutional policy, and the outcome is validated by an Integrity Officer or Institution Admin to ensure consistency, documentation, and governance compliance.

Yes. Students retain the right to appeal flagged assignments in accordance with institutional policy. All appeals are reviewed through the Integrity Committee workflow and require human review and validation at every stage.

Yes. As part of the dispute resolution process, students may provide evidence and may request an oral defense. These requests are reviewed through the Integrity Committee workflow in accordance with institutional policy, and any outcomes are validated by an Integrity Officer or Institution Admin.

No. The pilot operates independently of any LMS and does not require integration.

Yes. All pilot data including assignments, integrity flags, Honest Reports, grading artifacts, reviews, appeals, Integrity Committee decisions, and audit logs carries forward into full deployment without reprocessing.


Yes. Institutions define integrity governance rules, committee participation, validation authority, grading workflows, and appeal processes during the pilot in alignment with their internal academic integrity policies.
