Scoring model 1.2: validity track

Validity track covers GitHub, Product-readiness, Team, Docs, Audit.

Note: quick assessment helps to decrease privacy dark patterns from obscure language to test-net claiming it has a "state of art privacy".

GitHub

• Is it in stable release, 1.0 and not an alpha or untested code?
• Are there many PRs and Issues pending?
• Are there external contributors outside of the team members?

Docs

• read the documentation: is it comprehensive?

Team

• Check if there are known contributors (reputation 101)
• Check commits at GitHub
• How many community contributors beyond core team?
• How many technical specialists in the team?
• How mature are core contributors (previous projects, GitHub commits)?

Third-party audit

• Were bugs fixed?
• How centralized is the protocol governance?
• How centralized are product updates?
