Research direction

Start by reading the existing calculation functions in src/services/analytics.js: computeHealthScore, computeBusFactor, and computeActivityClassification. Then inspect src/pages/GovernancePage.jsx to determine how the scorecard or sub-tab fits the current dashboard. Done means an organization-wide grade, risk recommendations, and a filterable repository health view cover the listed bus-factor, activity, governance-file, and stale-work indicators.

Feature and its Use Cases
What is the feature?

An Automated Health Scorecard & Risk Advisor that evaluates an entire GitHub organization and its individual repositories against key open-source sustainability indicators (Bus Factor, Activity Freshness, Community Governance files, and Stale PR/Issue accumulation). It synthesizes existing metrics into an organization-wide Health Grade (A–F) and provides maintainers with actionable Risk Alerts & Remediation Advice.

How would users benefit from it?

Organization maintainers, community admins, and GSoC mentors can quickly audit org health at a glance without inspecting individual repos manually. It answers critical maintenance questions:

  1. Which repositories are at high risk due to single-maintainer dependency (Bus Factor = 1)?
  2. Which active repositories lack essential community standards (CONTRIBUTING.md, LICENSE, CODE_OF_CONDUCT)?
  3. Which repos have declining activity or accumulating unreviewed PRs?
What scenarios would this feature address?
  • Preparing open-source organizations for major community events or GSoC applications.
  • Identifying single-point-of-failure risks before key maintainers step down or go inactive.
  • Tracking health score improvements over time across all repositories.
Key Capabilities & Components
  1. Organization Health Summary Card: Aggregate Health Grade (A+, A, B, C, D, F) calculated from normalized repository scores.
  2. Automated Risk Advisor Panel: Contextual recommendation cards powered by rule engines (e.g. Critical Bus Factor warnings, missing documentation alerts, PR bottleneck flags).
  3. Interactive Health Radar & Filter Table: Filter repos by risk tier (High Risk, Medium Risk, Healthy).
Additional Context
Technical Implementation Guidance
  • Data Services: Build upon existing calculation functions in src/services/analytics.js:
    • computeHealthScore(repo, contributorCount)
    • computeBusFactor(contributors)
    • computeActivityClassification(repo)
  • UI Component Target: Integrate within src/pages/GovernancePage.jsx or as a standalone sub-tab.
