How OpenCircle Ranks Projects

Great open-source projects aren’t defined by vanity metrics or legacy star counts. OpenCircle evaluates repositories using a multi-dimensional, snapshot-based health model designed to highlight active, sustainable, and reliable software.

Mathematical Weight Distribution
Final Score = 25% Popularity + 25% Activity + 20% Health + 15% Community + 15% Release Stability

The Five Core Dimensions

Popularity
25%
GitHub Stars (70%) & Forks (30%)

Measures broad developer interest and codebase reuse across the network.

Activity
25%
90-day Commits (40%), Recent PRs (30%), & Push Recency (30%)

Tracks active development momentum and code velocity without favoring inactive legacy repos.

Health
20%
Issue Resolution (40%), PR Merge Rate (30%), & Maintenance Recency (30%)

Reflects maintainer responsiveness and efficient triage practices.

Community
15%
90-day Active Contributors (60%) & Unique PR Authors (40%)

Measures healthy shared ownership versus single-maintainer bottlenecks.

Release Stability
15%
Latest Release Recency (50%) & 365-day Release Frequency (50%)

Rewards steady shipping cadences, production versioning, and software stability.

Transparent & Fair by Design

Fixed Observation Windows

90 days for daily activity and contributor metrics; 365 days for release tracking. Older projects gain no unfair advantages simply from their age.

Synchronized Snapshots

All calculations evaluate the exact same time window per refresh cycle, ensuring deterministic comparisons across the entire ecosystem.

Context-Aware Scoring

Repositories without formal GitHub releases or closed PR histories are handled via neutral data fallbacks rather than unfair automatic penalties.
