The BizOps Score
Every tool in the directory gets a single 0–100 BizOps Score. It is computed entirely from public GitHub and release data — never from surveys, vendor submissions, or payment. The same formula runs for every project, re-calculated on every refresh.
- Trend arrows (↑ rising / ↓ falling / ★ new) reflect movement in these signals over the trailing window. Scores shift as the data shifts — that is the point.
The One Rule
- Scores and recommendations are derived from the signals above and from the inputs you give the audit. There is no “sponsored ranking,” no pay-to-play placement, and no way for a company to edit how it appears. If we ever offered one, this product would be worthless — so we don’t.
How the waste estimate works
The audit deliberately never asks for your invoices or exact spend — that is friction, and you would have to go dig through billing dashboards. Instead it asks two things you already know: your team size and the categories of tools you pay for.
The estimate, step by step
From those inputs the engine:
- 1 Applies typical per-seat pricing for each category (e.g. analytics seats cost far more than chat seats).
- 2 Multiplies by your headcount.
- 3 Estimates the share lost to overlapping features you are paying for more than once.
- 4 Recommends open-source or lower-cost replacements drawn from the live directory.
How we make money — affiliate disclosure
Some “switch” links in the directory and in your report are affiliate links. If you sign up through one, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. As required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, we disclose this clearly wherever those links appear.
That commission is the only thing the link affects. It never changes which tools we recommend, the order they appear, or the score they receive — those come from the public signals and your inputs alone. The optional $99 Migration Agent is a paid service you choose; it does not influence any recommendation either.
Your data & consent
The audit runs on the inputs you provide. We don’t collect your billing data, and we don’t require an email to see your report. The weekly digest is strictly opt-in — the consent box is unticked by default, and you can unsubscribe at any time. We never sell your data.
- Click-throughs on switch links are logged in aggregate so we can see which recommendations are useful. Audit inputs may be stored to improve the engine. Neither is ever sold or tied to advertising.
