Classification System

How we categorize AI authenticity

Native

AI nativity: High

AI is the core value proposition. Removing AI eliminates the product.

Integrated

AI nativity: Medium

Meaningful AI features added, but AI is not the primary competitive advantage.

Washed

AI nativity: Low

Claims significantly outrun capability — AI appears mostly in marketing.
