Classification Rationale
All 3 models unanimously agree on AI Native category, All content types, LLM function, General vertical, and High data exposure risk. The rationales consistently emphasize that the AI conversation IS the core product - users interact directly with the AI model for text and multimodal generation. For pricing, Gemini Pro correctly identifies Freemium (free tier available with paid Plus/Pro subscriptions), which is more accurate than pure Subscription.
