Prove the work is yours.

Does Folio write my paper for me?

No. Folio is integrity-first — it assists, it doesn’t ghostwrite. The proof-of-work report exists precisely to show that a human did the work, with AI as an assistant.

How does this help with AI-detection false positives?

When a detector flags your honest draft, your timestamped authorship report is the rebuttal: evidence of how the work actually came together over days of revisions.

Will Scholar AI invent citations?

No. It answers only from the papers in your own library, with citations — never the open web — so there’s nothing to hallucinate.

What’s free, and what needs a plan?

The authorship & proof-of-work report is free to export on every plan — Scholar a few times a month, Fellow and Chair without limit. The AI-powered checks — Document Audit and in-draft citation and claim verification — are part of the Fellow and Chair plans.

What’s the difference between attested writing, a certificate, and the report?

Attested writing is the timestamped record Folio keeps as you type — in early access today, not yet open on every account. An authorship certificate is the shareable /verify record you hand to a reviewer or funder: 3 a month on Scholar, unlimited on Fellow and Chair. The authorship & proof-of-work report is the exportable PDF built from that record, on the same allowance as certificates. Citation & claim checking and Document Audit are AI-powered and part of Fellow and Chair.

Does Folio watch how I type?

No, and it never will. Folio proves authorship without keystroke logging or behavioral profiles of any kind — no recording your typing rhythm, pauses, or pastes. The proof-of-work report is built from what you actually wrote and when you saved it, cryptographically committed as you go, not from surveillance of how you wrote it.
