Ideas for Fixing U.S. Schools, Ranked by Experts

There is lots of room for improvement in education. I am happy to see it being talked about in a large public forum. This though is a really strange article.

They asked experts to rank an idea on both cost and effectiveness using a scale of 1-7. Why a scale 1-7? Not that it is wrong just weird. There is some sort of uncanny valley effect to the article. Can anyone say more about it. Is it AI generated?
