A dot is green when the detector's human-likelihood score for that run was 0.50 or higher. The detector rate is the mean of that detector's scores across the runs, the same number the detector pages rank by; it is not the count of green dots, which the Runs passed row shows. Hover a dot for the score.

How to read these scores

Each detector returns a human-likelihood on a common 0 to 1 scale, where 1 means it judged the text human-written and 0 means it flagged it as AI. On these pages a verdict counts as passed when that score is at least 0.50, the midpoint of the detector's own scale. That threshold exists only to draw the chips: the bypass rate on the leaderboard is the mean of each test's scores from the 6 detectors, a continuous number, so a tool's pass count and its bypass rate will not be the same figure.

Elevate your craft with the definitive standard in accuracy: our Precision-Milled Stainless-Steel Ruler. Engineered for professionals who refuse to compromise, this essential tool bridges the gap between workshop durability and micron-level exactness.

Forged from premium, tempered stainless steel, this ruler resists corrosion, warping, and the relentless wear of daily use. Its edges are CNC-milled to exacting tolerances, providing a razor-sharp, dead-straight guide perfect for drafting, scribing, and precision cutting. Unlike inferior stamped alternatives with markings that rub away, our ultra-fine imperial and metric graduations are deeply laser-etched for permanent clarity. Paired with a glare-resistant satin-chrome finish, it guarantees effortless readability under bright studio lights or direct sunlight.

Designed with a true-zero edge, you can take flush, butt-joint measurements against vertical surfaces without second-guessing your starting point. Its balanced, substantial weight provides a grounded feel on wood, paper, fabric, or metal, preventing accidental slippage mid-stroke.

Whether you are an architect detailing blueprints, a woodworker laying out intricate joinery, or an engineer verifying tight tolerances, this ruler delivers uncompromising reliability. Upgrade your workspace with a tool built to last a lifetime. Measure with absolute confidence.

This is the best way to upgrade your work, with the most accurate measuring tool available: our precision-milled stainless steel ruler. Designed for professional craftsmen, who will never settle for anything less than the very best; this tool fills the gap between the long lasting nature of workshop tools, and the extremely high level of precision required by many craftsman.

Our rulers are made from top quality tempered stainless steel which gives them the strength needed to withstand the constant wear and tear that comes with daily use. The edges of our rulers have been cnc milled to precise specifications. These sharp, straight lines make it easy to draft, scribe, and measure accurately when using precision cutters. While other lower-quality, stamped rulers can wear down their markings through normal use, we have used an ultra-fine laser etching process to create both our imperial and metric gradations as deep into the surface of the ruler so they remain clear throughout its entire life. To further enhance the usability of these markings we have also applied a glare resistant satin chrome finish. This finish ensures easy-to-read measurements under even the brightest lighting conditions (studio lights or direct sunlight).

In addition to being able to take flush, butt-joint measurements against vertical surfaces with our true-zero edge, we have also added a substantial amount of weight to each ruler. This additional weight allows our ruler to provide a solid platform on all types of surfaces including wood, paper, fabric or metal. This additional stability prevents our ruler from slipping during measurement, allowing you to maintain your concentration while taking your measurements.

Regardless if you are an architect creating detailed blue prints, a woodworker detailing intricate joinery, or an engineer checking tolerances; our rulers offer uncompromised reliability. Make your workspace better with a tool that will last forever. Measure with absolute confidence
