Classification Rationale
All 3 models unanimously agree on AI Native category - AI voice generation IS the core product. All agree on Audio content type and Design vertical. For Function, models suggested 'Voice Gen' which maps to Creative as the closest standard function for generative audio content. Pricing: GPT-5.2's 'Subscription + Usage' is most accurate as ElevenLabs offers subscription tiers with character-based usage limits, combining both models. All agree on Low data exposure risk.
