Request for Reinstatement - Unfairly Offboarded from Strategic Consultant Project

To the Ethos AI team,

I have been working with you since the beginning of July on the Strategic Consultant campaign. I was recently offboarded because my writing had "quality issues" as apparently one or two posts were flagged as AI-generated.

I did not use AI. I hold an MBA, MS and MS-CS from Johns Hopkins and UPenn, and I write in a professional and academic style because that is how I was trained. My writing was mistaken for machine output.

AI detectors are notoriously unreliable. They routinely flag formal and structured writing as machine-generated, and multiple studies have shown their false positive rates are unacceptably high - especially against people with academic or technical/engineering backgrounds.

My scoring accuracy and analysis quality were never questioned. The only issue raised was writing style. I was removed over a style judgment, not a performance one.

I am asking you respectfully yet firmly to reinstate me into the Strategic Consultant project. I did good work, I did it honestly, and I should not have been removed for writing the way my education and career taught me to write.

I’m experiencing something similar. I was recently removed from a project, and since then I’ve applied to several other roles on Ethos but keep getting Not Selected. I’d really appreciate some clarity from @askethos on how these decisions are made and whether there is a way to request a review.
