Plain word vendor names count only with a qualifier or the vendor domain among the cited URLs. Historical answer text cannot be independently checked against this rule.

The historical August 2026 record uses four engines. The current five engine method includes Google AI Mode; its observations are separate from this release.

No answer text was retained for this historical release. Counts are shown without answer quotations.

Citation erratum

Vendor citation counts were reconstructed from saved cited URLs, requiring an existing named verdict and the vendor domain or a subdomain in the same answer. The earlier citation fields were incorrectly zero. Named counts, question counts, answer bases and exclusions are unchanged. Nimble remains recorded at zero named answers. Answer text was not retained, so contextual qualification of its name cannot be independently re-scored from this release. This correction is archived in version 2026-08.1.
