Turnitin similarity at high school level

We target Turnitin similarity under 8% on essays and under 10% on longer documents at every level — but at PhD and master's level the higher reference density tends to push similarity slightly higher than at undergraduate, even on entirely original work. We account for this by structuring how source material appears in the draft. The AI Writing score target stays under 5% regardless of level — that one isn't a function of how much you cite.
