## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to translate AI terminology or assess digital literacy for non-technical adults, especially those 50+. It is particularly well-suited for education platforms, senior community programs, or any agent workflow that needs to serve beginner-friendly AI explanations with structured readiness scoring rather than raw definitions from a general-purpose dictionary or LLM.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or unrecognized tag/category returns a generic or empty result
- Payment not processed results in 402 response blocking access
- Invalid input schema triggers a 400 bad request
- Service unavailability returns a 5xx error with no readiness data
- Ambiguous or misspelled jargon tag may return a mismatched readiness level
