GitHub Analytics Scoring

Repository Health Score

Health Score = 100 - (sum of weighted penalties)

Penalties - CI & Reliability:
  Failing workflow, high confidence:         -10 points
  Flaky test (3+ failures/week):             - 5 points
  No CI configured:                          - 8 points

Penalties - Issues & PRs:
  Critical unresolved bug (P0):             -10 points
  Security alert (critical severity):       -10 points
  Security alert (high severity):           - 5 points
  PR open >14 days (stale):                 - 3 points each (max -9)
  Issue @mentioned, no response >7 days:    - 5 points each (max -10)
  >10 open issues with no labels/triage:    - 3 points

Penalties - Community Health:
  No CONTRIBUTING.md:                        - 5 points
  No CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md:                     - 3 points
  No branch protection on main:              - 5 points
  0 open "good first issue" labels:          - 2 points

Floor: 0 (minimum score)

Score Grades

Priority Scoring for Issues

Internally score each issue to determine sort order in dashboards and reports:

Priority Scoring for Pull Requests

Priority Scoring for Discussions

Confidence Levels for Analytics Findings

Apply confidence levels to all bottleneck findings, health score deductions, and anomaly detections. Every finding in a report MUST include its confidence level.

Confidence Tag Format in Reports

| Finding | Severity | Confidence | Recommendation |
|---------|----------|-----------|----------------|
| 3 PRs stale >14 days | High | **High** | Assign reviewers or close |
| Velocity 40% below 4-week avg | Medium | **Medium** | Verify - may be holiday period |
| Issue activity spike on Fridays | Low | **Low** | Monitor for 2 weeks before acting |

Delta Tracking

When re-running an analysis against a previous report, classify every finding by change status:

Delta Report Section Format

## Changes Since Last Report ({previous date})

| Change | Finding | Details |
|--------|---------|---------|
|  Fixed | 3 stale PRs resolved | Team cleared the backlog |
|  New | CI failing on main | Build broke in last 24h |
|  Persistent (#3) | Velocity 30% below baseline | Third consecutive week |
|  Regressed | Security alert reopened | lodash advisory re-filed |

**Progress:** {N} fixed, {M} new, {P} persistent, {Q} regressed
**Score change:** {current_score} ({+/-N} from {previous_score})

Escalation Rule

If a finding is Persistent for 3+ consecutive reports, escalate:

Escalation: [{Finding}] has been present for {N} consecutive reports. Consider a team discussion or explicit ownership assignment to resolve this.
