Research so far

Developers hate writing documentation. GitHub public API is free. Could be a one-click GitHub App. Monetise via credits or a Pro tier for private repos.

Scores and research are from the 2026-05-10 seed: a single-model heuristic pass whose scoring model was not recorded. Nothing has been refreshed since. Research provenance (which model, what it found, what changed) is tracked from the Researcher's first run onward.
