Fully Attested, Never Observed

Grant-Narrative Drafting Before and After a University-Wide Generative-AI Ban

A telemetry-based comparison of attestation compliance against keystroke-derived drafting signatures before and after a university-wide ban on AI-drafted grant narratives. Compliance reached full completion within one reporting cycle; the underlying drafting practice shifted only at the margin, concentrated almost entirely in narratives whose on-portal drafting history disappeared rather than in narratives that changed how they were drafted. An interview sample corroborates the telemetry account.
