Compliance Score
Checklist
How this essay checker works
Before you submit, this tool runs three quick mechanical checks that are easy to miss when you're focused on your argument: does your essay fall within the word count your instructor required, does it cover the key terms or topics from the assignment rubric, and how does it read in terms of grade level and sentence structure. It won't grade your argument or check citations, but it catches the kind of compliance issues that can cost easy points.
What gets checked
Word count: compared against the min/max range you enter. Essays below the minimum or above the maximum are flagged.
Rubric keywords: each term you list is searched for in your essay (case-insensitive, whole word or phrase). You'll see which ones were found and which are missing.
Readability & passive voice: general stats on grade level, sentence length, and passive voice usage. Useful context for academic writing, though not a pass/fail check on their own.
