Methodology

Metrics are computed from merged pull request data synced daily from GitHub. AI-related metrics are directional signals inferred from pull request activity patterns and heuristics. Summary metrics use a 30-day rolling window; trends use a 90-day window. Last updated 16 hours, 29 minutes ago.

Updated daily from public GitHub pull requests.
