The only dissertation review built for the post-AI world.
Know your research. Defend your voice.
Built on 26 Review Modules
Every report applies Jennifer Touati's proprietary dissertation methodology — the same framework used in 1-on-1 coaching.
Research Alignment
Your problem, purpose, methodology, and research questions must form a diamond. One broken link and your committee stops the defense. We find it first.
Literature Review
Gold Standard
Your literature review is the foundation of your scholarly argument. We check structure, currency, balance, and whether your gap is clearly identified and defensible.
Voice & Ownership
AI writing patterns, anthropomorphic statements, first person usage, and verbatim consistency — every flag is something your committee will catch.
APA 7 & Citation Authority
In Chapters 1–3, you are not the expert yet. In Chapters 4–5, you are. Citation authority shifts by chapter — and committees know it. We check both directions.
Chapter 5 Integrity
Key components must be present: fulfillment of purpose, implications for practice and research, reconnecting with and demonstrating you understand the results of your study.
AI Detection
Formulaic transitions, excessive hedging, repetitive parallel structure — we flag AI writing patterns. Your committee will notice. We help you address it before they do.

Jennifer Touati, EdD
Founder, Ready To Defend | Education Under Construction LLC
My pain became my passion. After my own EdD journey in Educational Leadership and Curriculum, I founded Education Under Construction in 2018 to coach doctoral candidates through the dissertation process. When AI entered the picture in 2023, I paused — and listened. What I heard from students was clear: they didn't need more help writing. They needed help understanding and defending what they'd written.
Ready To Defend was built for that student. The one who has a draft but doesn't know if they can defend every word. The one who used AI and panicked. The one who needs a committee-ready dissertation — not just a finished one.
