When output is abundant, assessment has to move closer to reasoning and process.

The old signal is weaker

A final paper, answer, or project can still matter, but it no longer proves the same thing by itself. Generative AI can produce polished artifacts with limited learner understanding.

Detection is not enough

AI detection focuses on the artifact. It does not reveal how the learner reasoned, revised, checked, or used support.

The new evidence trail

QLM's answer is to collect evidence from predictions, simulations, explanations, tutor traces, AI-use transparency, and oral defense patterns.
