Local measurements and document-aware explanations will appear here.

What the measurements mean

Measurements describe visible structure and wording only. The paired-pattern review is document-aware, abstains where evidence is too limited, and must be considered alongside counterexamples and provenance.

Sentence-length variation

How much sentence length changes within this sample.

Vocabulary distribution

How broadly words are distributed across moving passages.

Repeated phrases

Repeated three-word sequences; topics, quotations, and templates can create them.

Transitions and hedges

Linking and qualifying words that may reflect genre, editing, or style.

Template-shaped phrases

A small fixed list of common formulaic phrases, never a universal signature.

Citation-shaped patterns

Reference-like forms, not validation that a source is accurate.

Style shift

A change in average sentence length between halves of the document.

Evidence state

A review state—not a classification of who or what wrote the text.
