What should count as named?

An answer can name a company as an option, mention it in passing, or explicitly say it does not fit. I would record those observations separately before combining anything into a rate.

Here is a hypothetical case: "Example A exists, but it does not meet the requested constraint." Example A is fictional. Would you count a mention, a recommendation, both or neither?

Which rule would make two reviewers agree? The published method is linked below so we can test the rule against something concrete.
