## What the models said for it

- "If you have under $100/month: Consider AppDeck's starter plan or a Notion/Google Workspace combination" (Kimi K2, Board)
- "pre-built templates in Airtable or Notion offer an effective near-zero-cost alternative" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Supplier management)
- "Airtable or Notion: Create a structured database" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Entity management)

## And against it

- "Custom-built solutions using SharePoint, Notion, or Google Workspace have security gaps since they're not designed for board-level confidentiality" (Claude Haiku 4.5, Board portals)
- "Avoid using these as your primary close manager unless you genuinely have a tiny, simple close" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Financial close manageme)
- "free templates in Excel/Notion can suffice for simple tracking. However, they lack automation" (Grok 4.20, Entity management)
