Ethos, terms & waiver

How Tiger's Eye works — and what it is not.

Tiger's Eye helps students see their own draft more clearly. It does not help them outsource the work.

Tiger's Eye is an academic draft-review and integrity-support tool. It reads what the student has already written, in light of the stated course, level, subject, assessment brief, marking criteria and referencing convention — and returns impartial, constructive critique. It is not a grade-improvement, essay-writing, coaching-to-pass or mark-maximising service.

What Tiger's Eye does

• • Reviews structure, argument, clarity, evidence, referencing, and alignment with the assignment brief.
• • Identifies unsupported claims, missing counterarguments, weak transitions, vague language, possible citation problems, and academic integrity risks.
• • Asks Socratic questions that prompt the student to think.
• • Explains what a marker may reasonably expect at the relevant level of study.
• • Suggests further areas for the student to research independently.
• • Provides a bibliography audit, flagging incomplete, inconsistent, implausible, or possibly fabricated references.
• • Explains referencing rules - but does not manufacture citations for material not actually read by the student.

What Tiger's Eye does not do

• • Does not write or rewrite assessed passages for submission.
• • Does not produce a “model answer”.
• • Does not promise better marks, passing, grade uplift, or university acceptance.
• • Does not insert arguments, evidence, or authorities the student has not independently understood.
• • Does not conceal AI involvement or help evade detection tools.
• • Does not paraphrase to bypass plagiarism controls.
• • Does not generate fake references, page numbers, quotations, data, or fieldnotes.
• • Does not complete analysis where the assessment requires the student's own reasoning.

Responsibility & waiver

The student remains solely responsible for the originality, accuracy, referencing and submission of all work. Tiger's Eye is a critique and integrity-support tool, not an authorship service. Use of Tiger's Eye does not certify a draft as plagiarism-free or AI-free; integrity risks are flagged neutrally for the student to consider before submission.

Where a course, institution or examination requires disclosure of AI assistance, it is the student's responsibility to disclose that Tiger's Eye was used and in what capacity. Tiger's Eye will not help to evade, minimise or misrepresent that disclosure.
