RepoWorth development valuation

One valuation, with the evidence behind it.

RepoWorth models the current development value represented by the visible repository evidence. It does not include ideation, intellectual property, business value, product discovery, or sale price.

Measured RepoWorth history

The current RepoWorth starts the measured history.

This current scan is the first measured point. Later scans add comparable history when the repository changes. RepoWorth is not back-cast onto commits that were never scanned.

This current scan establishes the RepoWorth baseline. Comparable value changes appear only after another completed scan under the same measurement basis.

52-week repository activity

5,414 commits across the public default-branch history.

Commit activity provides delivery context. It does not assign a historical RepoWorth to unscanned commits or treat commit count as value.

Jul 27, 2025Weekly commitsJul 19, 2026

RepoWorth history compares completed repository scans only when their measurement basis is compatible. Commit activity is shown separately so delivery volume is not presented as code value.

Repository contributors

Top contributors.

Ranked from the public GitHub contributor evidence available at the latest scan. This table describes measured repository activity, not ownership or original authorship.

Measured technical evidence

A fuller view of what the scanner found.

These values come from the same immutable repository scan as the headline RepoWorth. They stay tied to the scanned commit so the reading can be inspected against one exact source state.

Maintainability signal49/100

Developing based on deterministic repository structure and complexity signals.

Production source3M tokens

First-party implementation tokens eligible for the modeled code-scale input.

Test evidence29.7K tokens

29 detected test files contribute separately from production code.

Configuration and infrastructure0 tokens

0 manifests and 0 workspace boundaries were detected.

Documentation36.2K tokens

72 documentation files remain visible as a distinct enablement signal.

Integration surface424 signals

0 dependency declarations and 6 public-interface signals were measured.

Repository structure5 levels deep

0 large files and 37,622 branch signals add structural context.

Excluded from authored evidence0 files

306 generated files were identified. Ignored and generated material does not inflate RepoWorth.

Technical effort profile

What makes this repository harder to rebuild.

Code scale, branching, dependencies, languages, structure, and visible test evidence shape the implementation and verification effort represented by this repository.

Code scaleHigh

Measured from the current source archive.

ComplexityHigh

Derived from branch density, dependencies, languages, and code scale.

VerificationLow

Measures visible test code relative to the source corpus.

Development effort composition

Source volume alone does not explain the work.

This view separates authored evidence from the implementation, integration, verification, and engineering oversight represented by the current repository.

Reading boundary: These are modeled development inputs for the visible code. They do not include product discovery, company value, private systems, or commercial outcomes.

Evidence boundary

What this valuation includes.

CodeValuation.com counted supported authored source on commit 4c725242b7dbe8c77c6e227ef1f9540c5ef17921, measured deterministic repository signals, then estimated implementation, rework, testing, integration, and engineering oversight.

Included

Supported first-party source, tests, configuration, manifests, repository structure, dependency signals, and framework boundaries.

Excluded

Common generated and vendored files, build output, dependencies, lockfiles, minified assets, binaries, media, and private systems outside this repository.

Not claimed

Ideation, intellectual-property rights, security posture, production reliability, company value, sale price, revenue, user value, proprietary data, or the cost of discovering the original product.

This is a modeled current development valuation for the repository's visible code at a specific commit. It reflects code volume, implementation output, complexity, and engineering oversight. It is not a business valuation, investment appraisal, security review, or estimate of sale price, ideation, intellectual property, revenue, users, brand, proprietary data, undocumented domain knowledge, or private infrastructure.
