How to read the bands

Rarely named0 to 24%
Sometimes named25 to 49%
Often named50 to 74%
Consistently named75 to 100%

Bands describe how often a company was named, not how good it is. Being named is also not the same as being cited as a source. In this snapshot Next Insurance was named in 38 answers and its own site, nextinsurance.com, was cited in 24. Answers where an engine returned no sources are excluded, never counted as zero. How this is measured.
