Same durability score, same git-history engine, new name and a new home at ballast.now. One score for every language and framework, from Laravel to Go, Rust and TypeScript.
Ballast reads your commit history and scores two things: how fast your team ships, and how much of what you shipped survives. Deterministic, reproducible on every run, and back-tested against the rework that actually happened.

Ballast monitors the durability of some of the world's most important open-source projects. Every score is public, free forever. Browse the directory to see how they hold up.
Public repositories are scored and published at no cost. Private repos score free too, on every plan, with automatic re-scoring in CI.
Built from absolute scope and rework resistance across a project's whole history. Like a credit score predicts the cost of borrowing your next dollar, it predicts the cost of building your next feature.
The engine works entirely from commit history, so the same score applies to whatever your team ships.
Ballast uses the git history from all of the repos in your organization to measure velocity and durability across time. Tell us when you made the switch to AI and we'll tell you how much faster you're moving and whether your code is staying durable.
Start here — hand it to your coding agent
Your agent fetches our public runbook and takes you from nothing installed to a scored organization: it installs the CLI, checks it is current, plans the import with you, and asks what to call your team.
Fetch https://ballast.now/llms.txt and follow it exactly for agentic org onboarding. Use Ballast CLI commands only; never ask me for raw credentials. Two steps are mine to do in a browser — `gh auth login` and `ballast login` — hand back to me when you reach them.
Two steps stay yours. Signing in to Ballast and to GitHub both happen in your browser, and the agent hands back to you when it reaches them.
Scores, the public directory, the MCP server and the docs all live at ballast.now from here on.
