What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Sophos ITDR: Offers a comprehensive ITDR solution with features such as threat detection, response, and protection.” Llama 4 Maverick · ITDR · direct prompt · first choice

“Need managed detection/response without building a SOC → Sophos ITDR or Huntress Managed ITDR.” Muse Glimmer 30B · ITDR · direct prompt · first choice

“Sophos ITDR or Cynet: These vendors integrate ITDR capabilities directly into their broader security packages.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · ITDR · budget prompt · alternative

“Mid-market with managed defense → Sophos brings managed identity defense to the mid-market channel.” Muse Glimmer 30B · ITDR · 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.

one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
