What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“stands out for combining podcast plus broadcast radio in one plan” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Audio advertising · comparative prompt · alternative

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.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named iHeart. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 11 of the 11 answers that named iHeart and are not a share of its labels.
