Builder Intelligence Terminal · Model v2.1 · GH Archive

Know who's
building.

Sentrion indexes every active GitHub developer — scoring velocity, momentum, and signal quality across 4.8M actors. Real data. No vanity metrics. Proxies labeled as proxies.

The signal problem

Everyone claims to ship.
The data says otherwise.

A LinkedIn headline is a marketing asset. A GitHub star count is a popularity contest. Neither tells you whether someone wrote production code last week — or last year. So you do it by hand: open thirty profiles, squint at contribution graphs, guess whether a green square is real work or a config commit — and the search collapses into noise.

Sentrion replaces the guesswork with measurement. We index 4.8 million GitHub developers, score each on observable engineering behavior, and surface the ones who are demonstrably building — ranked, graded, and explained. Not what people say. What the git log proves.

How it works

Four ways to read the signal.

Assessment
A grade, and the reasoning behind it.
Every scored builder gets a letter grade and a written rationale that reads like a senior engineer's review — what they ship, where their depth is, what the trajectory suggests. You see the verdict and the evidence, not a number you take on faith.
A
"Sustained multi-year output, deep systems work, genuine collaboration — not bot-like behavior."
Scoring
Five signals. 4.8 million developers. One ranking.
We decompose engineering output into velocity, technical depth, momentum, consistency, and traction, then compute a composite across the whole indexed population. A name in San Francisco and a name in Lagos are finally comparable on the only thing that matters: the work.

Geospatial
See where the building is actually happening.
An interactive 3D globe maps builder density and momentum by region, so emerging hotspots surface before they're obvious. Spot the talent cluster, the under-recruited city, the ecosystem heating up — at a glance, not after a quarter of manual research.
Intelligence feed
The twenty names worth knowing this week.
Radar ranks top builders weekly by movement, not lifetime fame, so you catch rising signal early. The daily digest delivers the deltas to your inbox: who broke out, who's accelerating, what changed since yesterday.

Explorer vs Pro

Explorer shows you the leaderboard. Pro tells you why.

Free gives you ten names. The decision lives in everything Explorer can't see — a name without its score is trivia.

Why trust the signal

No logos to show you. Just the ledger.

01
Built on scale, not anecdote.
4.8M developers indexed. 2.3M scored. 47.5M stars, 56M commits, 22 days of continuous ingestion. The rankings come from a population, not a panel.
02
Signals, not opinions.
Every score derives from observable, reproducible engineering behavior — commits, cadence, depth, reach. We don't survey, editorialize, or sell placement. The git log is the source of truth.
03
Methodology you can audit.
Five named factors. One composite. Every grade ships with the reasoning that produced it. No black box — see the verdict and check the work.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

No. Stars measure popularity and decay slowly. Sentrion scores active engineering behavior — velocity, depth, momentum, consistency, traction. A builder shipping quietly today outranks a dormant 40k-star repo.
Five factors combined into a composite. On Pro, every grade includes a written rationale explaining what drove it — never a number without the reasoning.
Real. 4.8M actors indexed, 2.3M scored, 47.5M stars and 56M commits tracked across 22 days. Derived from observed public GitHub activity — not projections or survey panels.
We analyze only public GitHub activity — the same data anyone sees on a profile. No private repos, no contact details, nothing not already public. We measure the work, not the person.
Explorer (free) = top-ten Radar + builder names. Pro = full scores on all 2.3M, AI grade + rationale on every profile, complete Radar, daily digest, 3D globe, and REST API.
Continuously. Ingestion runs daily, the Radar recomputes weekly, and the digest lands every day. This week's builders — not last year's snapshot.
