Is AssemblyAI production-ready?

Legit.Show ran its deterministic 7-Frame production-readiness benchmark on AssemblyAI (public-surface assessment), measured from the public surface with no LLM in the scoring path. Its strongest frame is Privacy; its weakest is Standards. 6 of the seven frames returned a score; Accessibility was not measurable on this service and is recorded as null — not as zero.
