## What the models said about Prophix

- "easy to roll out and maintain but "doesn't allow for deep customization."" (Muse Glimmer 30B, comparative prompt, soft negative)
- "Prophix is the strongest overall EPM option in these results because it is specifically described as a low-cost entry" (Perplexity Sonar, budget prompt, first choice)

## What the models said about Workday Adaptive Planning

- "it is recommended to avoid defaulting to Workday Adaptive if cost predictability across thousands of users is a top priority" (Llama 4 Maverick, negative prompt, hard negative)
- "Adaptive Insights (if you want a clean web interface). These two cover the vast majority of mid-sized B2B use cases effectively." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, paraphrase prompt, first choice)
