Prompt result signals
Definition
M is mention rate and C is citation rate for each AI surface. None means the answer was scored but contained neither signal.
How it is calculated
Mentioned and cited are independent. An answer can name the brand without citing it, cite the brand without naming it, contain both signals, or contain neither.
Where to see it
This metric appears in the refd dashboard and in the no-signup demo, and every value links back to the AI answer it was scored from. A number you cannot trace to an answer cannot be checked, so refd keeps the raw response behind each one.
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.
