How to read this

A category is asked six ways of each of fourteen models on behalf of each buyer segment, so a segment is eighty-four answers. An answer belongs on this page when the judge labeled XCP-ng neither its first choice nor an alternative in it; the products listed are the first choices those answers made, counted once per answer. An answer that named nothing first, or named XCP-ng only in passing, is in the denominator and adds to no product. The counts are not the category standing, which is on the category page with its share and rank; they are the same record read from XCP-ng's side.

The output is the models' output; nothing here is a recommendation by the index, and a product named instead of XCP-ng was named by a model, not endorsed by anyone.
