How this score was built
| Component | Weight | Earned | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Velocity | 55 | 5.8 | +1.0/day, log-scaled against a 750/day ceiling |
| Acceleration | 15 | 0.0 | last week ran 0.81× the monthly pace |
| Freshness | 15 | 15.0 | last push 2d ago; decays to zero at 180 days |
| Scale | 15 | 8.8 | 1.1k stars, log-scaled against 150k — stops a 3-star repo topping the board |
| Momentum | 100 | 29.6 | sum of the above |
