DraftTrace

A writing-process platform that makes drafting, revision, and disclosed AI assistance visible to instructors.

The story behind the final draft.

A finished document shows the result. DraftTrace records the process: how text enters a draft, how it changes, and how a writer revises it. An instructor can replay that process and inspect the evidence in context.

The platform combines a rich text editor, character provenance, writing replay, instructor reports, and Canvas integration. It makes room for disclosed AI assistance as part of the writing workflow.

The distinction matters: a record of writing activity is evidence of a process, not a verdict about authorship. Alongside the deployed product, I’m working on reproducible evaluation through a public writing-process recorder benchmark.

AN ILLUSTRATIVE DRAFT

More than the
final document.

Every finished piece of writing has a story behind it. Ideas take shape through revision, and evidence gives them grounding. The process deserves to be seen.
