Formative Diagnostic Only (Heuristic Audit): This tool is an algorithmic, formative check designed to provide visibility into potential methodological gaps, citation mismatches, and areas to improve before submission. It is NOT 100% infallible and does not replace human academic advisory committees, thesis defense juries, or peer-review editors.

Strict Prohibition of Punitive / Disciplinary Use: Under no circumstances may this report or its numerical scores be presented as definitive forensic proof or admissible legal evidence of plagiarism, academic dishonesty, fraud, or unauthorized AI generation in university disciplinary hearings or sanction proceedings. Current AI-detection models carry false-positive rates on formal technical prose; all findings must be verified by human domain experts.

Limitation of Liability: Full intellectual, methodological, and legal responsibility for the manuscript remains solely with the human author and their academic advisory committee. The authors and distributors of this software assume no liability for thesis outcomes, evaluations, or academic decisions.
