Stars measure attention, not revenue, adoption or retention.
Each point is a month-end reading reconstructed from public event data, not a direct observation. Movement inside a month is invisible here, and the level can be understated.
A single launch post can produce a step like this without any change in usage.

Finding companies at that stage is the product. Contributor pedigree, enterprise-demand signals and our ranking sit behind the login.
