## What the models said for it

- "The default choice for organizations deeply invested in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem... starting with SharePoint + Viva Connections offers the lowest incremental software cost." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Internal communications)
- "For most small-to-medium businesses on a budget, leveraging existing Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace licenses is often the most practical starting point." (Claude Haiku 4.5, Internal communications)
- "Stick with Google Sites or SharePoint first—you can launch a effective intranet in a few days with zero software outlay." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Internal communications)
- "The best employee intranet for a company with a limited budget is Microsoft SharePoint, as it is included in Microsoft 365 plans" (Llama 4 Maverick, Internal communications)

## And against it

- "SharePoint (especially as a standalone intranet) ... many organizations find it challenging to use it as a full intranet platform" (Mistral Small, Internal communications)
- "This is probably the biggest one to be cautious about... for most mid-sized organizations, it "falls short day to day."" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Internal communications)
- "avoid Jive, LumApps, Interact, SharePoint (for new implementations without significant investment)" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Internal communications)
- "SharePoint without a dedicated implementation and governance plan... a polished intranet can require substantial configuration, customization, and ongoing administration." (Perplexity Sonar, Internal communications)
