| Cloudflare DNS | Users whose problem is closer to general public resolution backed by edge Anycast | Anycast, edge entry, and independent public-resolution framing are more visible | If the real problem is closer to filtering and threat-blocking-oriented resolution, this side becomes a weak fit | Low-medium | Best as the Cloudflare DNS path |
| Security DNS | Users whose problem is closer to filtering and threat-blocking-oriented resolution | filtering, threat blocking, and security-oriented context are more visible | If the real problem is closer to general public resolution backed by edge Anycast, this side becomes less convincing | Low-medium | Best as the Security DNS path |
| Separate roles before ranking | Users who do not want both sides rewritten as the same kind of DNS | Service goals, deployment context, boundaries, and false-positive cost together | The workflow is longer, but it sharply reduces shallow comparison | Medium | Best as the final decision path |
