- Vimeo: 16 of 64 labels negative. "By default it stores data in Google Cloud locations in the United States, which may not meet compliance requirements for all enterprises." (Claude Haiku 4.5, negative prompt)
- Brightcove: 12 of 65 labels negative. "It is significantly more expensive ($20k–$60k+) and technically complex to implement. It is often better for tech/product deployment than for general marketing campaigns." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, budget prompt)
