By model

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Spreadsheet-to-Software Bridges (e.g., Prophix, Planful) | Companies whose root issue is bad budgeting in Excel.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · IT financial mgmt · 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.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Planful. 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 2 of the 2 answers that named Planful and are not a share of its labels.
