The Proofd Score

The Proofd Score

Most of us are using AI to help with our posts now. That is not the problem. The problem is that the feed has filled up with writing that came from a prompt instead of a person, and readers can feel it. Once enough posts read like a machine made them, everything gets doubted, including the real ones.

That is the trap Proofd is built to get you out of.

Using help was never the dishonest part. A good editor has always sharpened someone's words without replacing their thinking. The test was never whether you typed every word yourself. It was whether every word honestly represents you. What changed is that now we can prove it.

Every post published through Proofd carries three numbers. The Proofd Score, which is how much of the post traces back to your own voice. The word count of your voice-note transcripts. And the total time you spent talking it through. Together they are a provenance record. Not a grade. A record of where the post actually came from.

And the score means something because the pipeline is sealed. The only way a post gets made is you talking into the app. You can't paste text, upload a script, or drop in something a chatbot wrote. Every change you make, you make by voice. There is no step where outside words could get in. So the number isn't a self-report. It's a fact about how the post was made.

When a reader sees a high Proofd Score, four minutes of recorded voice, and 340 words of transcript behind a post, they know something real. A person sat with this and brought actual experience to it before any AI touched it. Proofd smoothed the rough edges. The substance was yours.

The Proofd Score is also just honest. It tells your reader plainly that you used AI to help polish the post, and exactly how much of you was in it first. In a feed where everyone is quietly pretending they did not use AI, saying so out loud is what earns trust back.

The number is not a trophy. It is a handshake.

I was here. This came from me. Proofd just helped me say it cleanly.
