Impact

25% weight

82A

The portfolio centers on technically ambitious graphics, rendering, font, image, and systems-adjacent work, with a prominent TypeScript project and several native-language projects. Project usefulness and scope appear strong from the names.

Consistency

15% weight

78B

The supplied repositories show activity across 2023-2026, including several updates in 2026, indicating sustained recent engagement. Older projects remain part of the portfolio but do not materially weaken the recent pattern.

Quality

25% weight

63C

The supplied metadata spans TypeScript, C, Zig, Rust, Python, and JavaScript, and includes both standalone repositories and forks. These are portfolio composition signals only; no conclusion about implementation quality is made.

Depth

20% weight

79B

The combination of a substantial non-fork project, several active native-language repositories, and activity spanning multiple years supports meaningful sustained ownership. Fork status limits how much depth can be attributed directly to独自

Breadth

10% weight

82A

The portfolio spans web tooling, graphics and image libraries, font tooling, native systems work, packaging, and multiple languages. Forks add ecosystem exposure, though they are less direct evidence of owned project breadth.

Community

5% weight

52D

Community evidence is mixed but clearly nonnegative: the profile has 102 followers and some projects have notable stars, while several others have little visible popularity. Under the rubric, popularity is only a weak tie-breaker and does

Impact · 82/100

What it measures. Project usefulness, ambition, originality, and coherence. Popularity is not impact.

Evidence for chearon. The portfolio centers on technically ambitious graphics, rendering, font, image, and systems-adjacent work, with a prominent TypeScript project and several native-language projects. Project usefulness and scope appear strong from the names.

Quality · 63/100

What it measures. Engineering and project-maturity signals supported by the available public metadata.

Evidence for chearon. The supplied metadata spans TypeScript, C, Zig, Rust, Python, and JavaScript, and includes both standalone repositories and forks. These are portfolio composition signals only; no conclusion about implementation quality is made.

Depth · 79/100

What it measures. Sustained ownership, meaningful scope, and continued maintenance rather than one-shots.

Evidence for chearon. The combination of a substantial non-fork project, several active native-language repositories, and activity spanning multiple years supports meaningful sustained ownership. Fork status limits how much depth can be attributed directly to独自

Consistency · 78/100

What it measures. Recency and contribution patterns across the supplied activity window.

Evidence for chearon. The supplied repositories show activity across 2023-2026, including several updates in 2026, indicating sustained recent engagement. Older projects remain part of the portfolio but do not materially weaken the recent pattern.

Breadth · 82/100

What it measures. Language entropy and project-type diversity across owned repos.

Evidence for chearon. The portfolio spans web tooling, graphics and image libraries, font tooling, native systems work, packaging, and multiple languages. Forks add ecosystem exposure, though they are less direct evidence of owned project breadth.

Community · 52/100

What it measures. A weak positive tie-breaker for supplied community signals, never a popularity penalty.

Evidence for chearon. Community evidence is mixed but clearly nonnegative: the profile has 102 followers and some projects have notable stars, while several others have little visible popularity. Under the rubric, popularity is only a weak tie-breaker and does

I. How this saved profile rating was produced

  1. 01

    Validate. The server validates the login, signed browser session, attempts, cooldown, daily ceiling, and the single provider permit.

  2. 02

    Collect. The VPS collector reads bounded public profile metadata and up to 12 recent repository metadata rows in volatile memory.

  3. 03

    Rate. One pinned provider returned a closed profile-rating object with no tools, browsing, shell, or repository-content access.

  4. 04

    Verify. Server checks bound the subject, rejected unsafe or echoed text, validated the schema, and recomputed rubric-v3 final arithmetic.

  5. 05

    Save. Only a valid completion and allowlisted post-completion facts commit atomically; the public projection is then rebuilt.

This saved profile analysis is metadata-only and did not read repository trees, README files, or source code. Availability of new analysis is separate from this historical result.

II. Data sources & caveats
  • Scores summarize one accepted, subject-bound analysis; they are not a security audit or endorsement.
  • Rank, percentile, and median use 1095 currently accepted public profiles and can change as the leaderboard changes.
  • Repository and language details reflect the bounded analyzed sample, not necessarily every repository.
  • Missing data is shown as unavailable or not evaluated instead of being inferred as zero.
  • Analysis completed Aug 9, 2026, 7:31 AM UTC and is marked aging.
