Content Development and Writing Policy

Tafel Learn LLC

Purpose

This policy describes how the platform assists users with developing application materials, writing, school tracking, and readiness checks for undergraduate admissions, including BS/MD and similar combined-degree pathways, and the responsibilities of users in that process.

The platform provides structured guidance for organization, reflection, drafting, revision, and review. It does not replace your independent judgment or your authorship of your application materials.

What the Platform Does

Tafel provides structured guidance to help users organize and articulate their real experiences for undergraduate and combined-degree medical program applications. The platform uses information you provide to ask structured questions, help you reflect on your experiences, organize activities and achievements, improve clarity and specificity, identify gaps or areas for improvement, track application tasks, and evaluate application materials for coherence and completeness.

The platform requires substantive user input and does not draft essays from scratch without your experiences, details, and direction.

Allowed Assistance

  • Organizing your real experiences, activities, achievements, and school list
  • Helping you reflect on details from experiences you actually had
  • Improving clarity, structure, specificity, and character-limit fit
  • Checking whether a draft answers the prompt you selected or entered
  • Identifying repeated stories, missing evidence, weak specificity, or incomplete sections
  • Creating trackers, summaries, checklists, and export-ready drafts based on your inputs

Not Allowed

  • Inventing patient stories, research work, service work, awards, roles, hours, or outcomes
  • Exaggerating responsibilities, credentials, impact, authorship, clinical exposure, or leadership
  • Creating materials for another applicant or letting another person use your account, except for parent or guardian assistance for the same minor student
  • Submitting content you have not reviewed and approved as truthful
  • Using the platform to bypass school, centralized application service, or institutional integrity policies
  • Using AI-generated drafts or AI-assisted edits where the relevant institution prohibits that use
  • Hiding the nature of assistance received if an institution directly asks you to disclose it
  • Including protected health information or identifying details about patients or other individuals

What the Platform Does Not Do

The platform does not create experiences you did not have. It does not fabricate achievements, credentials, hours, roles, responsibilities, or outcomes. It does not replace your authorship of your application materials. It does not guarantee that any material will be effective for admissions purposes.

It does not submit applications, monitor official portals for you, or guarantee that deadline or prompt information is current. Prompt information may change. You must verify current prompts, deadlines, and submission requirements using official sources.

Your Responsibilities

All application materials you submit to any institution must reflect your real, genuine experiences. You are responsible for reviewing and editing all content before use. Before saving or exporting content developed through the guided writing process, you must confirm: "This reflects my actual experience." You are responsible for ensuring your application materials comply with the policies of each institution to which you apply.

Final responsibility for authorship, accuracy, deadlines, official portal submission, and compliance remains with the user. Tafel reviewers provide general feedback and do not verify factual accuracy, authorship, or compliance with institution-specific rules.

Do not include protected health information or identifying patient details. Tafel is not a HIPAA-covered entity merely because a user submits health-related information, and the platform is not designed for storing or processing protected health information.

Institutional Compliance

Each institution and centralized application service, including services such as the Common Application and the Coalition Application, may have its own policies regarding external tools, writing assistance, technology, or AI-assisted support. These policies vary and may change over time.

You are responsible for understanding and complying with the specific policies that apply to your application. If a policy is unclear, obtain clarification from the institution or application service before using AI-assisted materials. Tafel does not guarantee that use of this platform complies with the policies of any institution.

Institutional Disclosure

Different institutions may ask different questions about writing support, consultants, editing, technology, or AI-assisted tools. Answer the specific question asked accurately and completely based on your use of the platform.

If disclosure is requested, an accurate description may be: "I used Tafel Learn, a writing organization and structured feedback tool, to help organize and revise materials based on my own experiences. I reviewed and approved all final content."

Ownership

You retain ownership of content you create using the platform. Tafel retains ownership of its prompts, templates, software, workflows, methods, and proprietary materials.

Data Use in Content Development

Outputs are derived from information you provide to the platform, including your profile data, activity records, reflections, school list, deadlines, drafts, and responses to guided questions. Your data is not shared with other users or used to generate content for anyone else.

Outputs are generated within the platform environment and are not shared across users.
