A quantified answer to 'is this company actually gaining traction?'
The Momentum Score is a composite signal built from 24+ underlying data sources. It combines code velocity, citation growth, funding pace, hiring patterns, model adoption, partnership activity, and benchmark performance into a single inspectable number.
Not a vanity metric. Every score is decomposable — click into any company and see which signals drove the number up or down, then decide whether you agree.
See momentum before the consensus narrative catches up.
Momentum scores update on a continuous cadence. Track how companies accelerate, plateau, or decline over weeks and months — not just at funding announcement time.
Identify inflection points before they become obvious: a spike in GitHub activity, a cluster of new papers, or a sudden hiring burst.
Not another vanity metric.
