A premium trust layer for GitHub signals

StartBae combines network science, velocity analytics, and human-readable evidence so your team can act quickly and defend every decision.

Graph anomaly detection

Detect star spikes, coordinated bursts, and follow-star motifs using temporal and bipartite network intelligence.

Heuristic fraud scoring

Composite score blends entropy, Gini, account age, repo similarity, and velocity for a transparent trust score.

GH Archive + GitHub API

Ingest GH Archive events and enrich with GitHub metadata to isolate inorganic growth in near real-time.

Investigation UI

Pivot by repo, star-event cohort, or actor graph. Export evidence and share a reproducible investigation trail.

How StartBae works

A clear path from raw activity to a score your team can explain in seconds.

  1. 1

    Ingest and enrich

    Stream GH Archive star events and enrich with GitHub API data including account age, follower graph, and repository metadata.

  2. 2

    Model anomalies

    Compute burstiness, cohort overlap, graph motifs, and velocity deviations to assign per-event and cohort-level risk.

  3. 3

    Investigate and decide

    Review actor clusters, timeline anomalies, and evidence exports to share a defensible repository trust score.

Trusted by discerning teams

Early adopters rely on StartBae to distinguish authentic traction from engineered visibility.
