What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Rapid7 or Fortinet FortiDeceptor are the most frequently cited value choices” Muse Glimmer 30B · Deception · direct prompt · first choice

“Platform-Integrated Deception (e.g., SentinelOne Singularity Deception, Fortinet FortiDeceptor)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Deception · scale prompt · alternative

“Choose FortiDeceptor if your company is already a Fortinet shop or has OT/IoT exposure.” Perplexity Sonar · Deception · direct prompt · alternative

“the most cost-effective choice for organizations already running Fortinet hardware” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Deception · budget 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.

No model argued against it.
