Every negative label with a quote, up to three, then the highest-weighted positives, up to three. Five of six in this category shown.

“Basic CSP-Native Tools (e.g., Basic AWS Macie / Azure Purview setups): While powerful individually, using them as a standalone DSPM strategy often leads to siloed management.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · negative prompt · soft negative
“AWS Macie only supports AWS S3 buckets (and RDS via snapshot to S3); that is incomplete for almost all users” Muse Glimmer 30B · negative prompt · soft negative
“If you are AWS/Azure heavy with minimal SaaS: Start with AWS Macie or Microsoft Defender/Purview to pay strictly for consumption.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · budget prompt · first choice
“If you are 100% AWS: Buy Amazon Macie (pay-as-you-go).” DeepSeek V4 Flash · budget prompt · first choice
