How we assessed this shortlist

Tier 1 is a dedicated legal-hold or evidence-preservation product with known hold workflow facts. Tier 2 is a general records or document system that documents legal holds as one part of broader lifecycle management. Within tiers, order follows known hold, custodian, audit, and integration detail, then published price transparency. Primary-source depth and product name resolve ties; unknown fields are not treated as product gaps.
