HQ(9)
Crafted
The human created every element of the content — by hand, by typing, by dictation, or by performance. AI may have been used as a research or reference tool during the process, but it did not generate, shape, or edit any part of the actual work. The creation is entirely human; the research may have been assisted.
The creator's attestation
Every word is mine. I might have asked AI a question during research, but the work is all human.
HQ is a self-assessment. The creator assigns this number because they are the one who knows how the work was made. This is an attestation — a declaration by the person who created the content.
Examples
- Writing You write a piece by hand and use AI only to look up facts during research
- Writing You dictate a speech and transcribe it yourself without AI assistance
- Visual You paint a portrait using only reference photos you took yourself
- Audio You compose and record a song using only traditional instruments and your ear
- Code You write every line yourself, consulting documentation but no AI tools
