AI Depth Score Rationale

The score should be 4 (AI-Centric) rather than 3 (AI-Enhanced). Luna AI is explicitly positioned as an 'AI-powered teaching assistant' where AI is core to the product's value proposition. The product's entire purpose is to use AI to generate lesson plans, activities, graphic organizers, differentiated texts, and other instructional content. This goes beyond 'meaningful AI throughout' (score 3) - the AI generation capabilities ARE the product's primary value. Without AI, Luna AI would not exist as a product. However, it stops short of score 5 (AI-First) because it's described as an assistant within the broader Newsela ecosystem rather than a fundamentally AI-native standalone product that couldn't exist without cutting-edge AI. The distinction is subtle, but Luna AI's core value delivery mechanism is AI generation, making it AI-Centric.
