What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Crawl (The Low-Risk Start): Start with walled gardens. If 60% of your ad budget goes to Google or Amazon, set up Google Ads Data Hub or Amazon Marketing Cloud.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Data clean rooms · scale prompt · first choice
“start with the free walled-garden options (Google, Amazon, Meta) depending on where you advertise most” MiniMax M2.5 · Data clean rooms · budget prompt · first choice
“If ad-focused, begin with free walled-garden DCRs (AMC/Google)—they solve 80% of needs without spend.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Data clean rooms · budget prompt · first choice
“Start with Amazon Marketing Cloud or Google Ads Data Hub. They are free at the license level” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Data clean rooms · budget prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Platform-owned environments such as Google Ads Data Hub, Amazon Marketing Cloud and Meta’s PET-based collaborations are widely adopted but raise lock-in, portability and conflict-of-interest questions.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Data clean rooms · negative prompt · soft negative
“Google Ads Data Hub and Amazon Marketing Cloud can be useful for analysis within their respective ecosystems, but don’t assume they provide a neutral view across all media.” GPT-6 Luna · Data clean rooms · negative prompt · soft negative
“Walled garden DCRs are incredibly powerful, but only within their own ecosystems. They are plagued by severe vendor lock-in.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Data clean rooms · negative prompt · soft negative
“Walled Garden Clean Rooms (Google, Meta, Amazon) ... Why to be cautious: Vendor lock-in” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Data clean rooms · negative prompt · soft negative
