How Godot Engine’s scores are calculated
The full audit trail, recomputed from the verdict data at build time through the same code that produced the leaderboard: verdict × quality × story weight per cell, cells sum to dimension scores, dimensions blend into the PA Score. Every number on the product page is reproducible from this page alone; for why the formula looks like this, see the methodology.
verdict factors: full ×1.0 · partial ×0.6 · disputed ×0.3 · none ×0.0 · n/a excluded from both sides · cell points = weight × quality × factor · cell max = weight × 10
PA Score23/100
Agent-ready 28.2 × 0.30 = 8.46
API quality 0.0 × 0.20 = 0.00
Openness 61.2 × 0.20 = 12.24
Built-in AI 4.0 × 0.15 = 0.60
Automation 8.0 × 0.15 = 1.20
(8.46 + 0.00 + 12.24 + 0.60 + 1.20) ÷ (0.30 + 0.20 + 0.20 + 0.15 + 0.15) = 22.50 ÷ 1.00 = 22.5
Scores are stored to 1 decimal; the product page’s pills round to whole numbers for display. Each dimension below shows the stories, verdicts, and cited evidence behind its number.
