- Float: 8 of 15 labels negative. "QuickBooks Cash Flow Planner, Fathom, Float, Pulse, Dryrun, and similar tools are built for the SMB market and will break down under enterprise complexity." (DeepSeek V4 Flash, negative prompt)
- Microsoft Excel: 7 of 7 labels negative. "Avoid relying on Excel for large-scale cash forecasting. While familiar, it creates version control problems, formula errors, and manual data entry risks" (MiniMax M2.5, negative prompt)
- Workday Adaptive Planning: 6 of 35 labels negative. "If you are forced to use a legacy per-seat giant (like Workday Adaptive or OneStream): You must negotiate an Enterprise License Agreement" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, budget prompt)
