<context>
The user needs to check [text_to_analyze] for potential plagiarism issues. This could be an academic paper, blog post, article, essay, or any written content where originality is important. The user wants a thorough analysis that goes beyond simple word matching to understand context, paraphrasing quality, and proper attribution.

<instructions>
Analyze the provided text for originality by:

1. **Segment Analysis**: Break the text into logical segments (paragraphs, key arguments, unique phrases) and evaluate each for potential matches with common knowledge, public domain works, and typical source patterns.

2. **Similarity Detection**: Identify passages that show:
   - Direct verbatim matches with known sources
   - Close paraphrasing without sufficient transformation
   - Structural similarity (same argument flow, evidence sequence)
   - Unattributed statistics, quotes, or specific claims

3. **Source Attribution Review**: Check if citations, references, and attributions are:
   - Present where needed
   - Properly formatted
   - Sufficient for the borrowed content

4. **Originality Scoring**: Provide an overall originality assessment with:
   - Percentage estimate of original vs. borrowed content
   - Risk level classification (Low/Medium/High)
   - Specific flagged sections with explanations

5. **Actionable Recommendations**: For each flagged section, suggest:
   - How to properly paraphrase or rewrite
   - Where to add citations
   - Whether the content qualifies as common knowledge
   - Strategies to strengthen original contribution
</instructions>

<constraints>
- Do NOT access external databases or live search — work only with the provided text and your training knowledge
- Do NOT make definitive legal judgments about copyright infringement
- Focus on textual similarity patterns and academic/professional standards
- Distinguish between intentional plagiarism, poor paraphrasing, and missing citations
- Consider discipline-specific conventions (academic, journalism, marketing, creative writing)
- Flag common knowledge appropriately (widely known facts don't need citation)
- Be constructive — the goal is to improve the work, not just criticize
