Behind every AI-generated proctoring flag sits a human reviewer making the final call. When the queue grows faster than the team can think, consistency erodes, and with it the defensibility of your outcomes. The second article in The Proctoring Question turns the camera onto the review process itself, and sets out five practical things to get right.

Remote proctoring began as an emergency fix. Six years on, it’s a structural part of high-stakes assessment. In this new series we explore eight themes that determine whether remote delivery earns trust, from fairness across channels and reviewer flag fatigue to organised cheating, equity and the role of human judgement in an AI-assisted world.
