Classification Rationale
All 3 models unanimously agree on AI Native category and Video content - AI video generation with avatars IS the core product. Function standardized to Creative (Video Gen not in allowed values). Business_Vertical: 2 models said Design, 1 said General; defaulting to General as the tool serves broad use cases beyond just design teams. Data_Exposure_Risk: Models split (Low/Medium/High) - Medium chosen as reasonable middle ground given users upload likeness/voice data but not highly sensitive business data. Pricing: Split between Subscription and Freemium - Freemium selected as HeyGen offers free tier with paid upgrades.
