Included in the $39 MyWorkMyWords Kit

  • The evidence binder builder: the exact order to assemble version history, drafts, research trail, and earlier writing into one file a panel can follow in five minutes
  • Appeal statement templates: the fill-in structure for 'I wrote this, and here is the trail' — for a first answer, a formal appeal, and a score-only case where the school's own rules bar the score as sole proof
  • Hearing scripts: what to say when they read the score aloud, the questions to ask about the report, and how to answer 'did you use AI?' without talking yourself into a corner
  • The deadline tracker: your window, your hearing date, and the 'what to save from today' checklist so nothing expires while you build the file
  • The escalation page: the signs your case has outgrown a $39 kit — expulsion on the table, a license at stake — and how to hand a lawyer a file that is already built
