Anyone feel there's a better fit?

Used the app to identify. Did it do a good job or is there a better fit? (School i work for gave little succulents as teacher/staff appreciation gifts). My kitties knocked her over and injured her the second i got her home so this little plant has had a little trauma bc I had to scoop her up and get her back together.

Right now I'm doing "plant recess" bc even though they are little cacti I feel TX summer is a little too harsh so im going to weekly give them some outside sunshine time. Is that weird?
Based on the shape of the leaf tips and the very unique flat, angled sections on the leaves, my guess is Echeveria compressicaulis. Native to Venezuela. These can range from brownish-green to purplish-green in color (appears yours leans purple). Like other echeveria, it will love at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. You’ll know it’s getting enough sun when the leaves lose most of their green. I imagine it should be perfectly fine out in the TX summer, but if you’re worried, you could keep it inside under a full spectrum grow light instead.
