SafeRender resource hub
Source verification
Choose the exact issue that matches your work. Each page in this cluster targets a distinct intent with a method, example, limitations and a clear reminder that local rules take priority.
Start with the real problem
Start from the real issue: an AI rule, doubtful source, citation mismatch, missing rubric criterion or final submission check.
SafeRender method
Compare the brief, draft and sources, identify the gaps that matter, then fix them selectively.

Why specialised pages
A precise answer is more useful than one generic page trying to cover everything. Each guide targets its own intent and links to genuinely related topics.
If you used AI
First check whether use was permitted. If disclosure is required, state the tool, purpose, affected parts and your verification.
Local rules
Written assessment instructions, institutional policy and tutor or instructor guidance always take priority.
Move to the full paper
Once the issue is identified, SafeRender can place that check back into the complete document before submission.
