How strongly a message's own text reads as machine written.

public enum MachineAuthorshipBand

Fields

Likely = 3

The text carries enough of it, or one thing strong enough on its own, that a person typing it is the less likely reading.

NotAssessed = 0

Nothing read the message's text, so nothing is claimed either way.

It covers three ordinary states and is deliberately not separated into three: the deployment does not assess authorship, the message's body yielded no words to read, and the message was stored before this deployment assessed anything. All three are the absence of a reading rather than a reading that found nothing, which is what Unlikely is.

Possible = 2

The text carries some of it, in a combination a person writing by hand also reaches.

Unlikely = 1

The text was read and carries little or nothing of what machine-written text carries.

Remarks

A coarse reading of the likelihood beside it, and the value a reader is expected to branch on. The number is what makes two messages comparable; the band is what makes one message legible without knowing where the thresholds sit, which is the whole of what a listing row has room to say.

It is an observation about the text and never a finding against the message or its sender. A great deal of ordinary correspondence is drafted with a text generator by people who mean every word of it, so nothing in this system treats any of these values as a warning, and nothing acts on one.
