Definition
A negative mention is an appearance in an answer where the surrounding context is unfavourable — named as the cheap option, named alongside a complaint, named as the one to avoid.
Why it matters
Counting negative mentions as presence makes the headline number look good while the commercial effect is negative. Mention context has to be recorded and reported as its own column.
