Recensa checks the document you already wrote.

Every AI writing tool now offers to review its own output. A review inside the drafting workflow can carry forward the same context, assumptions, and interpretation that produced the document — even when a different model performs the review. Recensa runs outside that workflow and evaluates the finished file as evidence.

Recensa checks a document against itself, against source material you upload, and — soon — against outside sources. It finds internal contradictions, broken references, terminology drift, numeric errors, and missing required provisions. Each finding is tied to the exact evidence it rests on.

None of these are grammar or style notes. A spell-checker reads a sentence; Recensa reads the whole document and asks whether it agrees with itself. A number in a summary table has to match the number in the paragraph that explains it. A clause that references “the schedule attached hereto” has to have a schedule attached. A defined term has to mean the same thing on page 40 as it did on page 4. Those relationships span the document, and they are exactly the errors a read-through misses — because each page, read on its own, looks fine.

When you run a Source Check, Recensa also reads the material you upload alongside the document — the prior draft, the term sheet, the solicitation, the underlying data — and checks the document against it. A figure that was correct in the source but got transcribed wrong into the document is the kind of thing that only shows up when the two are read together.

Recensa offers three depths, and the difference is what the document is compared against — itself, your own uploaded source material, or outside sources. You start free with the Internal Check and add depth only when a document warrants it.

Every check produces one Proof Report: it opens with what ran, then lists every finding with its evidence in the Issue Ledger. You also get a sealed copy of your document. Keep them, share them, and let anyone confirm them without a Recensa account.

Inside the Proof Report

The Issue Ledger: every finding, with its evidence

The exact passage, the calculation, the package item, or the governing rule behind each finding.

• Evidence-bound. If we can't show the basis for a finding, we don't report it.
• Located in your document. Each finding points back to where it came from, so you can judge it in context.

Inside the Proof Report

The record: what ran, and when

Downloadable. Keepable. Shareable with whoever asked you to check.

• Not a chat transcript. An export-shaped summary of the checks that ran on this file.
• Built for sign-off. Hand it to a client, a counterparty, or a reviewer as the record of the check.

Recensa can apply corrections you approve. Every change is yours — you accept, reject, or type your own. Nothing is rewritten silently, and nothing is changed that you didn't authorize. You make every call; Recensa executes it correctly.

Apply Fixes

You decide. Recensa applies it exactly.

Review each finding, choose what to do, and Recensa applies your decision — preserving formatting, tables, and numbering.

• Nothing silent. No wholesale rewrite. Only the changes you approve, applied precisely.
• Do-not-change locks. Mark passages Recensa must never touch — negotiated language, an agreed clause, a signature block. They stay byte-for-byte identical.

This is the opposite of a rewrite. An assistant that rewrites hands you a new document and leaves you to work out what changed and whether you agree. Recensa keeps your document and applies only the specific corrections you approved, one at a time, so the diff is exactly the set of decisions you made — nothing more. Formatting, tables, numbering, and styles are preserved, because the goal is to fix the finding, not to reflow the file.

Recensa works on finished Word (.docx) and PDF files. Upload from your device or import from Google Drive, and for a Source Check, attach the supporting files you want the document checked against. What you get back is downloadable and shareable — nothing is locked inside an account.

Your document is processed to produce the review. We keep a cryptographic fingerprint — so the seal can be verified later — a verification record, and report metadata. Not the document itself.

Processing involves third parties — model providers, hosting, error monitoring. We name every one of them and what they see: subprocessors · AI & your documents.

Does Recensa write or rewrite my document?

No. Recensa never drafts. It checks a finished document and reports what it finds. It can apply corrections, but only ones you explicitly approve.

What file types does it accept?

Word (.docx) and PDF.

Is it free?

The Internal Check — your document against itself — is free. Source Checks are paid.

Does the seal mean my document is correct?

No. The Recensa Checked mark confirms which checks ran and that the file hasn't changed since. It does not certify that the content is correct. That judgment stays with you, and the mark says so.

Can someone else verify my document?

Yes. Every checked document carries a verification ID. Anyone can enter it at recensa.ai/verify — no account needed.

Do you keep my document?

No. We keep a cryptographic fingerprint so the seal can be verified later, plus a verification record and report metadata. Not the document.

How is this different from Grammarly?

Grammarly checks language. Recensa checks whether the document contradicts itself.

How is this different from an AI writing assistant?

An assistant drafts. Recensa checks a finished document — and it never drafted it, which is the whole point.
