Every tool in our directory is scored 0–100 using 9 publicly verifiable GitHub signals. No paid placements. No editorial bias. No guesswork — just data, refreshed every 24 hours.
The BizOps Score is a composite 0–100 health indicator for open-source business software. It answers a simple question: is this project safe to bet your business on?
A high score means the project is actively maintained, has a healthy contributor base, responds to issues, ships releases, and shows no signs of stagnation. A low score is an early warning — the project may be abandoned, slow, or struggling to attract contributors.
The score is purely GitHub-derived. We don't factor in commercial relationships, newsletter subscriptions, or any form of payment. A $10M-funded startup with a bad GitHub score gets a bad score. A solo developer with an excellent commit history gets a great score.
Every signal is fetched directly from the GitHub REST API. All data is publicly available — you can verify any score yourself using GitHub's API.
Community adoption proxy. Stars indicate that real developers have found the project useful enough to bookmark.
Forks indicate developers are actively building on or studying the code — a stronger signal than stars.
The most important activity signal. Projects with no recent commits are likely abandoned. We count commits to the default branch in the last 30 days.
Single-maintainer projects are high-risk — one person burning out kills the project. More contributors = more resilient.
Median time for maintainers to first respond to new issues. Slow response time suggests an overloaded or disengaged team.
How quickly the team reviews and merges community pull requests. A key indicator of developer experience and community health.
How many days since the last tagged release. Frequent releases signal an active project that ships fixes and features.
Whether the project has active GitHub Actions or CI configuration. Projects without CI have higher defect risk.
Ratio of open to total issues. A very high ratio may indicate maintainers are overwhelmed. Context-sensitive — larger projects naturally have more open issues.
Each of the 9 signals is normalised to a 0–1 scale, then multiplied by its weight, then summed to produce a raw score. The raw score is scaled to 0–100 and rounded to the nearest integer.
Normalisation uses log-scale for count-based signals (stars, forks, commits) to avoid extreme outliers dominating the score. Activity signals (response time, PR merge time) use an inverse-log scale — lower time = higher score.
Actively maintained, healthy community, fast responses. Safe to build on.
Solid project with some gaps. Evaluate individual signals before committing.
Active but showing strain — slow responses, infrequent releases, or thin contributor base.
Signs of stagnation or abandonment. Proceed with caution and check alternatives.
Each tool is assigned a trend direction based on its score change over the previous 14 days. A tool is Rising if its score increased by 3+ points; Falling if it dropped by 3+ points; New if it joined the directory within 30 days; and Stable otherwise.
Score increased 3+ points in 14 days — activity accelerating
Score within ±2 points over 14 days — consistent activity
Score dropped 3+ points in 14 days — watch closely
