What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“long-standing enterprise-grade EDI/B2B platform, especially in larger organizations with complex partner ecosystems” GPT-5.4 mini · EDI · comparative prompt · alternative
“Consider instead (good security track record)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · MFT · negative prompt · alternative

And against it

“they require highly specialized, expensive EDI consultants to configure and maintain” Gemini 3.5 Flash · EDI · comparative prompt · soft negative
