1. It is highly unlikely that we could be of help (unless someone else has experienced this and knows what happened). You will have to contact the Urkund people and ask them why their algorithms raised the flags.
2. But of course, the regression methodology is not "your own" -- it's just a standard tool that you used in your work, which is entirely legitimate of course.
