Mention
Definition
An occurrence of a tracked entity name or alias in the AI answer text.
How it is calculated
Mentions use word-aware matching and can be case-exact when configured. Being mentioned does not require the entity to be cited.
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.
