AI Depth Score Rationale
The score should be 4 (AI-Centric) rather than 3 (AI-Enhanced). The evidence shows AI is core to the product's value proposition across multiple dimensions: (1) Real-time AI coaching and feedback for students is described as 'built-in' and fundamental to the platform, (2) AI-assisted grading saves educators 30% of grading time, (3) AI-powered originality checking is integrated into the workflow, (4) The homepage emphasizes 'Powered by AI' and positions the company as 'the pioneer of instructional AI', (5) Multiple testimonials highlight AI as central to the product's effectiveness. While the rationale states 'core discussion functionality could operate without AI assistance,' the evidence contradicts this - the real-time feedback, coaching, grading assistance, and originality features are presented as integral to the product's value, not optional enhancements. The product is explicitly marketed as an AI-powered platform where AI drives the core student and instructor experience, making it AI-Centric rather than merely AI-Enhanced.
