Understanding project health

Healthy: 80–100 · Warning: 60–79 · Critical: 0–59

These automated estimates summarize maintenance activity, observed contributors, and estimated bus factor risk. Funding is unknown and excluded. A status is a starting point for review: mature projects can need few changes, and low activity does not establish insecurity or financial distress. Projects with insufficient data are unrated.
