Policy
Original-work policy
AI labs pay for human judgment. An AI-written answer teaches their models nothing new and can reinforce their mistakes, so this is the rule we enforce most strictly.
The rule
- Everything you submit is your own work, written by you.
- Don't use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or any other AI tool to write, rewrite, check or translate your answers, unless a project's instructions explicitly allow a specific tool for a specific step.
- Reference material is fine (documentation, textbooks, standards) when you use your own words.
- Don't share tasks, answers or instructions outside the platform, and don't let anyone else work under your account.
How we check
Every answer is reviewed by a person. We also look at signals such as time spent compared with other experts, known-answer tasks mixed in without notice, how much of an explanation was pasted rather than typed (pasting code is fine), answers that closely match another expert's, and writing patterns typical of AI models. Where the client allows it, an AI model also gives our reviewers a second opinion. A flag is not a verdict: a reviewer looks at the work before anything happens.
What happens if it isn't your own work
A confirmed case ends your access on the first occurrence, and the work isn't paid. If you think a decision is wrong, email support@canonset.com with your drafts or notes; that's why we suggest keeping them for longer tasks.
