About SafeGrade

The tool I wanted when I was the one submitting.

SafeGrade reads your draft before your marker does.

The problem

Why it exists

Universities started running AI detection on submitted work faster than they explained what it means for the student on the other end. A flag can follow you into an academic misconduct process over writing you did yourself — a formal tone, a tidy structure, a habit of writing in threes.

Meanwhile the things that actually cost you marks — an argument that doesn’t land, citations that don’t match your reference list, a conclusion that restates the introduction — get pointed out on results day, when it’s too late to do anything about them.

SafeGrade exists to move both of those conversations to before you hit submit.

The product

What it does

Deep Scan
Reads your essay for the patterns that read as AI-generated, and tells you where they are and why.
Writing Analysis
Scores six signals of writing quality on your own machine. It’s a quality indicator. It is not an AI detector, and we keep the two clearly separated everywhere on this site.
Sage
A writing advisor that knows your university, your course and your assignment brief. It will tell you how to build the argument. It will not write it for you.
Grade estimate
An indicative UK band, so you know roughly where the draft stands before you decide whether it’s finished.
The line we won’t cross

What SafeGrade is not

It is not a way around your university’s checks, and we won’t build one. Every feature here is designed for work you wrote yourself and want to make better. If you’re looking for something that launders someone else’s writing — or a machine’s — this is the wrong product, and we’d rather say so plainly.

The team

Who runs it

SafeGrade is built and run by Liam Broad, trading as SafeGrade, from Cardiff. One person — which means the person who writes the code also answers the support email.
