What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If you're deeply integrated with SAP or Microsoft, consider SAP MDG or Microsoft MDS.” Mistral Small · Master data · scale 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.

“Microsoft announced that Master Data Services is deprecated starting with SQL Server 2025.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Master data · negative prompt · hard negative
“Primarily on‑prem; limited native cloud‑native capabilities ... MDS may feel too “legacy”” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Master data · negative prompt · soft negative
