AI detectors guess.
We prove.

OriginProof is the black-box flight recorder for writers & creators — cryptographic proof a document was drafted by a human.

◈ keystroke dynamics · pause rhythms · revision history → Proof-of-Biological-Origin

01 · Problem

Detection is broken — and institutions know it.

🎓 False positives ruin lives

Students failed, freelancers fired, contestants disqualified — by probabilistic guesses from Turnitin-style tools.

⚖️ "Looks like AI" isn't evidence

No detector score is admissible in court, defensible in appeals, or trusted by editors. Institutions need affirmative proof.

📝 Watermarks don't survive text

C2PA and metadata are stripped on copy-paste. Plain-text workflows have zero provenance today.

📈 Mandates are arriving

Universities, courts, publishers, and award juries increasingly require human-authorship proof. No standard exists — yet.

02 · Solution

A flight-data recorder
for writing itself.

◉ Recordkeystroke dynamics, pauses, revisions — locally
→
⛓ SealSHA-256 hash chain; pastes flagged
→
🛡 Certifysigned certificate + Humanity Score
→
▶ Proveshareable playback link for verifiers

We don't analyze what you wrote. We certify how it came to exist — the biological texture no paste can fake.

03 · Privacy moat

Content-Blind: proof without surveillance.

This is why institutions will say yes where keyloggers and spyware got banned.

04 · Product

Live today: working MVP.

◉ Recorder

Drafting surface + live telemetry: paste ratio, revision rate, pause-σ, burstiness.

🛡 Certificates

Signed Proof-of-Biological-Origin with chain hash, metrics, 10-yr registry.

▶ Playback

Scrubbable replay + anonymized mode; one-click verifier links.

🔌 Platform

Registry API, Chrome extension, desktop app, Stripe billing — shipped.

05 · Business model

Notary micro-fees + institutional SaaS.

High-volume flywheel (creators) × high-retention contracts (institutions).

06 · Market

A $2.1B serviceable wedge.

$2.1B

TAM slice

Integrity software + e-notary + publishing workflow + legal evidence.

SAM (5-yr)

6,000 HE institutions + 40k firms / publishers / newsrooms.

Wedge: universities burned by false positives + awards/publishers with immediate originality mandates.

07 · Competition

Everyone detects. Nobody proves.

Why we win and keep winning.

⛓ Registry network effect

Every certificate makes verification standard; verifiers drive recorders.

🧠 Behavioral dataset

Largest consented corpus of human drafting dynamics → best classifier.

🏛 Trust certifications

SOC 2 + eIDAS timestamps + admissibility playbooks. Slow to clone.

🔌 Workflow embeds

LMS, CMS, e-filing integrations = deep switching costs.
