Governance, Risk & Compliance buyers are usually comparing tools across several jobs at once: evidence collection, control monitoring, risk decisioning, audit readiness, and compliance gap analysis.
The ranking is limited to open/source-visible tools and is ordered by ToolVitals score first, with GitHub stars used only as a secondary popularity signal for tie-breaking. That means a tool with more stars does not outrank a healthier or more actively shipping tool unless the ToolVitals score is tied.
