data driven

Scores are calculated using data from a project: forum posts, commits, comments, and more.

community controlled

Each project community sets the values, priorities, weights, and norms.

transparent

You can see what every score is, and more importantly, why.

extensible

SourceCred is built around a plugin architecture. You can extend it to track any kind of contribution.

decentralized

There's no "CredHub"; just an open-source system that anyone can set up and use.

intersubjective

Scores are a blend of objective data and subjective judgement.
