## What the models said for it

- "I'd usually recommend starting with Salesforce PRM/Partner Cloud if you already use Salesforce CRM" (GPT-5.4 mini, PRM)
- "Choose Salesforce PRM if you are a large enterprise strictly living in the Salesforce world and have the budget for customization." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, PRM)
