Statement: The average OpenSSF Scorecard score across the top critical open source projects is approximately 5.4 out of 10, as stated.

Supporting Evidence Would Show

  • OpenSSF published data or blog posts reporting a mean Scorecard score near 5.4 for their critical projects dataset
  • Academic papers analyzing Scorecard distributions that report a mean near 5.4
  • Third-party analyses of Scorecard API data confirming this average

Eliminating Evidence Would Show

  • OpenSSF published data showing a substantially different mean score (e.g., below 4 or above 7)
  • Evidence that the Scorecard does not produce a single aggregate 0-10 score in the way implied
  • Evidence that the 'top one million critical projects' population does not exist as described
