## Interpretation limits

- ToolVitals scores summarize bounded public maintenance, shipping, openness, and evidence signals. They are not user-review ratings.
- GitHub stars and related popularity metrics are adoption context, not quality evidence.
- Missing values mean not collected or not confidently established; they do not mean zero.
- Public signals do not prove security, uptime, support quality, customer satisfaction, or production suitability.
- Verify material decisions against the linked first-party sources and your own requirements.
