UCSC-LoweLab / tRNAscan-SE
A program for detection of tRNA genes
UCSC-LoweLab/tRNAscan-SE holds a health index of 38 out of 100, placing it in the At risk band. It scores highest on Vitality (53/100) and lowest on Engineering Quality (21/100). It was last updated 19 days ago. A single contributor accounts for most of its recent work.
38
overall / 100Software health index
Metrics are grouped into weighted categories on one standardized 1–100 scale. Overall starts as their weighted mean; when public evidence triggers the High-Risk Jurisdiction Policy, the rating is adjusted and receives an At risk ceiling of 49. AI Readiness sits outside the overall score.
38
Excellent85-100Exemplary; meets essentially all checked criteria
Good70-84Healthy; minor gaps
Moderate50-69Acceptable with notable gaps; review recommended
At risk30-49Significant weaknesses; adoption warrants caution
Critical1-29Severe problems (abandoned, single-maintainer, no hygiene)
Score profile
Each axis is a category. The shape matters more than the average — a healthy subject fills the whole shape, while a spike-and-crater profile means strength in one dimension is masking risk in another.

When each star and fork was added, collected from GitHub and bucketed by day. Cumulative growth sits directly above the daily additions it is made of, so the two read against each other: steady organic accretion looks nothing like an abrupt, short-lived burst. Where that difference is measurable, it is reported as growth authenticity.
