There are almost never any business Promo Awards anymore.
Even Premium Economy barely gets a look in anymore.
Unless you specifically see "Business" mentioned, or prices starting from ~35k upwards (for longhaul), you can instantly see that there are no Business offers. No clicking through on the various links, and no further investigation/searching, is required to ascertain the lack of Business Promo Awards.
They don't "hide" Business Promo Awards in amongst Economy Promo Awards; so, if for example BOS is advertised as "starting from 11250 miles", you must interpret this as meaning ECONOMY ONLY and there will not also be business promo awards sprinkled somewhere in there for you to find; if there was, there would be a second entry for BOS advertised along the lines of "starting from 35750 miles" (or whatever).
Business Promo Awards are now so rare that, when they occur, they tend to get their own thread (like this one from last August that you found). I don't remember seeing any longhaul J Promo offers since last August; there certainly have been none at 50% off, as this last batch discussed in this thread were.

They stopped writing class of travel available and only miles redemption price "starting from" a while back, with no clear indication if it is only Y or both Y and J or only J available. But, if you have any examples of your two entries for BOS, I would be happy to be proven wrong as it would make my life simpler! The only time I have seen two entries for the same destination is when both AF and KL has promo rewards to the same city.
There were J tickets to YUL at 50% in December. Price 27.500 miles.
