Scoring model testing repo
Here we test the latest scoring approach for non-techies (30 Oct, 2023) whenever service is private or not.
Simplified overview
| Project | GitHub | Product-readiness | Team | Docs | Audit | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test project | available & active GitHub / not (25%) | Live or 🚧 (exclusion criteria) | public team / not (25%) | available & not marketing docs / not (25%) | available & up to date third-party audit / not (25%) | total |
| -> | 25% | 🚧 | 25% | 25% | 25% | from 0% to 100% |
Note:
- persona: non-techie
- max score: 100% (public GitHub, third-party audit, public Docs, public team)
- min score: 0%
- 🚩 - represents project sunset, empty or inactive Github, marketing docs
- 🚧 - represents that the project is not live on mainnet, this is an exclusion criteria that forces project score to be 0%
