A fast, scalable unique ID generator for Python
necaris/cuid.py holds a health index of 30 out of 100, placing it in the At Risk band. It scores highest on Sustainability & Governance (55/100) and lowest on Vitality (1/100). It was last updated 1175 days ago. A single contributor accounts for most of its recent work.
Metrics are grouped into weighted categories on one standardized 1–100 scale. Overall starts as their weighted mean, calibrated against the distribution of the public record so bands carry percentile meaning; when public evidence triggers the High-Risk Jurisdiction Policy, the rating is adjusted and receives an At Risk ceiling of 34.
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.
The weighted overall 36 is calibrated to 30 on the published index scale (record calibration 2026-08-02).
This repository is owned by a personal account. A single-owner project carries more continuity risk than an organization-backed one.

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.
Each point covers 6 days.
Independent, tool-agnostic security assessment from the open-source OpenSSF Scorecard. Each check rewards a security practice, not a specific vendor's tool. Checks Scorecard could not determine are marked n/a and excluded from the security score (never counted as zero).
