But as @Adam Smith suggested, I also thought segment-by-segment availability is what matters (this is what a Concierge agent confirmed to me last time as well and ultimately somehow pushed through my upgrade). But today, multiple agents advised they see no P or Z space even just searching SFO-YYZ, whereas I see plenty through EF.

@canadiancow This is a Latitude AMS-SFO round trip (all legs in B). I mentioned D being the lowest fare class available because that's apparently what the AC agents see.

I suspect you're running into the age-old problem of it wanting R. I also suspect that you're saying something like "I only need P and there's P", and they're doing an SFO-AMS search, which as EF confirms, comes back P0.

I'd just email the concierge, reference ACPedia #whatever , and ask for them too get it pushed through.
