Score colour shows how many signals stand behind it, never how good it is: amber, three or more; dimmer amber, two; grey, one. The Evidence column names them.
Stars, forks and last commit are as GitHub reported them when Armory last read each repository: for most, or later. A repository may have changed since.
Leaderboard ranks the rules rows, the largest part of this component (461 of 499). Formula shows the calculation.
