+For dependency counts, we start by looking at the dependencies for the
+meta-framework package directly. For example, how many production, development
+and overall dependencies does `Nuxt` have? We then look at dependencies for the
+starter projects specifically. Looking at a project's dependencies is more
+realistic (like the `starter-*` projects) as meta-frameworks rarely just include
+the meta-framework package alone. It is also important to look at direct
+dependencies.
