What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Best suited if your organization is already on Azure; otherwise, integration overhead can be higher.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Document processing · budget prompt · alternative
“Best if You Already Use Microsoft 365... Caveat: Requires a developer or technical person to set up” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Document processing · budget prompt · alternative
“For cloud-native scalability, Amazon Textract or Azure Document Intelligence are strong options.” MiniMax M2.5 · Document processing · direct prompt · alternative
“A developer-led team already standardized on Azure | Azure AI Document Intelligence” GPT-6 Luna · Document processing · direct prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Azure AI Document Intelligence. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 45 of the 47 answers that named Azure AI Document Intelligence and are not a share of its labels.
