OSSCAR is a quarterly ranking system that measures open-source organization growth using GitHub stars, contributors, and package downloads, weighted with a log-minmax scoring and L² norm composite methodology. It addresses the need for a more nuanced metric than simple GitHub stars by providing two divisions for established and emerging projects, making it valuable for investors and project maintainers seeking visibility beyond vanity metrics.
