## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to translate AI jargon into accessible language for non-technical users, especially adults 50+, or when you want to assess a learner's readiness level and surface personalized next steps and module recommendations. It is not a general-purpose dictionary or search engine — it is purpose-built for AI literacy scaffolding.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized tag value returns empty or default response
- Missing required query parameters may return a generic fallback assessment
- API may return 402 if payment is not properly handled via x402 protocol
- Unrecognized category or useCase strings may yield low-confidence or null recommendedModules
