## Question Details
I drafted my 23-page WGU MBA C2013 task from scratch using my own outline, yet the 2026 Turnitin AI detector highlighted my introduction and methodology transitions at 24%. What sentence-level edits eliminate false-positive perplexity triggers before final evaluation?

## Accepted Expert Answer — Prof. David Miller, MBA (Cohort #170) (WGU MBA & C207/C216 Capstone Evaluator)

> **Key Expert Verdict**: Eliminate symmetrical 18-word sentences and boilerplate signposts ('Moreover', 'Crucially'); vary sentence length (8 to 32 words) and embed empirical numbers in every claim.

2026 Turnitin Clarity Audit: False positives around 24% occur when academic prose has low burstiness (uniform sentence length) and predictable transition openers. Break every third sentence into a short 9-word analytical punch, remove stock words like delve, underscore, multifaceted , and tie your WGU C2013 rubric points directly to numerical dataset outputs (n = 309).
