AI Depth Score Rationale
The score should be adjusted from 3 to 4 (AI-Centric). The evidence shows AI is core to the product's value proposition, not just an enhancement. The homepage prominently declares 'Handshake: the career network for the AI economy' and features 'Handshake AI' as a major product offering. The platform has fundamentally repositioned itself around AI, with an entire vertical dedicated to connecting AI labs with human intelligence for model training ('Improve models with human intelligence'). The company describes a 'refounding in the AI era' in their updates. While the product could theoretically exist without AI (as a traditional job marketplace), the company has made AI central to its current identity, business model, and value proposition - evidenced by AI-powered hiring workflows, intelligent job matching, and the AI training marketplace. This goes beyond 'meaningful AI throughout' (score 3) to AI being 'core to the product's value proposition' (score 4).
