What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Large legacy on-premises Exchange estate? → Veritas Enterprise Vault.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Comms archiving · comparative 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.
