How We Measure Tool Health
ToolVitals tracks phpList's health using commit recency, sustained activity across rolling windows, contributor continuity, and a small release-cadence signal. Evidence confidence limits strong claims but does not raise the score.
Health Score
Commit recency, activity in the last 30 days and prior 60 days, contributor continuity, and a small release signal.
Shipping Score
Recent and sustained commit volume, contributor activity, and a maximum 10% release-cadence contribution.
