Investor insight

Deceleration is not automatically a red flag. A team that just shipped a major release often slows down to regroup. Read it alongside contributor growth and new repositories: falling velocity with stable or rising contributors usually means a finished push, while falling velocity and falling contributors together can flag turnover or a stalled roadmap.
