How much of this submission has been generated by AI? 0% of qualifying text in this submission has been determined to be generated by AI. Caution: Percentage may not indicate academic misconduct. Review required. It is essential to understand the limitations of AI detection before making decisions about a student's work. We encourage you to learn more about Turnitin's AI detection capabilities before using the tool. Frequently Asked Questions What does the percentage mean? The percentage shown in the AI writing detection indicator and in the AI writing report is the amount of qualifying text within the submission that Turnitin's AI writing detection model determines was generated by AI. Our testing has found that there is a higher incidence of false positives when the percentage is less than 20. In order to reduce the likelihood of misinterpretation, the AI indicator will display an asterisk for percentages less than 20 to call attention to the fact that the score is less reliable. However, the final decision on whether any misconduct has occurred rests with the reviewer/instructor. They should use the percentage as a means to start a formative conversation with their student and/or use it to examine the submitted assignment in greater detail according to their school's policies. How does Turnitin's indicator address false positives? Our model only processes qualifying text in the form of long-form writing. Long-form writing means individual sentences contained in paragraphs that make up a longer piece of written work, such as an essay, a dissertation, or an article, etc. Qualifying text that has been determined to be AI-generated will be highlighted blue on the submission text. Non-qualifying text, such as bullet points, annotated bibliographies, etc., will not be processed and can create disparity between the submission highlights and the percentage shown. What does 'qualifying text' mean? Sometimes false positives (incorrectly flagging human-written text as AI-generated), can include lists without a lot of structural variation, text that literally repeats itself, or text that has been paraphrased without developing new ideas. If our indicator shows a higher amount of AI writing in such text, we advise you to take that into consideration when looking at the percentage indicated. In a longer document with a mix of authentic writing and AI generated text, it can be difficult to exactly determine where the AI writing begins and original writing ends, but our model should give you a reliable guide to start conversations with the submitting student. Disclaimer Our AI writing assessment is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. Our AI writing assessment may not always be accurate (it may misidentify both human and AI-generated text) so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any academic misconduct has occurred.

2 Effective Contract Management Strategies in Project Procurement 1. How should the financial risk of a program and the contract type be related? In project management and procurement, contract type and program financial risk are critical. Programming and project complexity, uncertainty, and resources affect financial risk. The contract type affects risk allocation and management. The main categories of financial risk are cost and performance. Program cost risk includes overruns and unexpected expenses. Performance risk is still determining whether the program will get the desired results. Financial risks might increase or decrease depending on the contract type. As the contractor must complete the project within budget, a fixed-price contract increases financial risk. The client or government agency bears the financial risk of cost overruns in a cost-reimbursement contract. Financial risk and contract type should be carefully considered and aligned with the program. Cost-predictive fixed-price contracts assist programs with well-defined requirements and little uncertainty. 2. What is the ceiling price on an incentive contract? Incentive contract "ceiling price" is critical to contract management, especially in government contracting. In an incentive contract, the ceiling price is the contractor's maximum bill to the government or client. As an upper limit, this price controls costs and gives the client some cost certainty. The ceiling price prevents cost overruns. Contractors often pay for charges above the ceiling price. Some incentive contracts allow contractor-client cost-sharing beyond a specific limit. As a budgetary constraint, the ceiling price encourages the contractor to manage expenses efficiently to avoid exceeding it. The contractor and customer want to limit costs, meet contract goals, and meet quality and performance standards.

3 3. What are some basic features of a cost-type contract? Cost-type contracts, often called cost-reimbursement contracts, are utilized in government and private-sector procurement ( Oakley et al., 2020). This contract gives buyers and sellers more flexibility and risk-sharing than fixed-price contracts. Cost-type contracts have these essential features: Cost Reimbursement: In a cost-type contract, the contractor is reimbursed for project-related direct and indirect costs. This guarantees that the contractor is paid for their actual costs. Flexibility: These contracts allow project scope, design, and other cost-affecting adjustments, giving project managers additional flexibility. This flexibility is functional when project needs are unclear at the start. Audit and Documentation: Cost-type contracts require extensive cost documentation and regular audits to ensure acceptable, allowable, and allocable expenses. This prevents overbilling and money waste. Performance-Based Incentives: Some cost-type contracts include award fees or project milestone incentives. These encourage contractors to exceed project goals. 4. What are some basic features of a fixed-price type contract? Construction, manufacturing, and services use fixed-price contracts. Several essential qualities set it apart from other contract kinds. These elements ensure that the contract's pricing, scope, and conditions are well-defined and cannot be altered without mutual agreement ( Maxwell, 2020). Fixed-price contracts include these essential features: Page 5 of 7 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2736765121 Page 5 of 7 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2736765121

4 Price Certainty: A fixed-price contract sets the price for products or services at the outset. This price is fixed throughout the contract, giving the buyer cost predictability. Fixed-price contracts usually have a specific scope of work or deliverables. This scope specifies what the seller must offer, and any changes or additional work may require a change order with agreed-upon pricing and terms. Fixed-price contracts shift cost and performance risk to the seller. The vendor must manage costs and deliver goods or services on time and within budget. This makes fixed-price contracts appealing to budget-conscious buyers. Seller Efficiency Incentives: Since cost overruns reduce profitability, fixed-price contracts encourage sellers to operate efficiently and manage costs. Sellers want the job done on time and under budget to maximize profits. Terms of Payment: Fixed-price contracts frequently feature payment schedules connected to milestones or deliverables. The seller meets standards and receives payments as work advances.
