Cited domain
Definition
The website hostname extracted from one or more cited source URLs.
How it is calculated
Grouping sources by domain shows how broadly a site appears across answers separately from the total number of URLs it contributes.
Where to see it
This term describes part of how refd collects and scores AI answers. The methodology page sets out the full contract, and the demo shows the same concepts against a live sample workspace.
The definition above is the one the product uses. It is read directly from the same source the dashboard and the MCP server read, so this page cannot drift from the software.
