- 📈 Growth: Insufficient signal to assess trajectory.
- ⚠️ Risk: Elevated — scam/fraud mentions detected, bug mentions above category norm, rating drift -1.80 ★ (recent 50 vs lifetime).
🎯 For competitors: Vulnerable. Quality drift + slow updates create a clear opening for a fresh competitor with active dev cadence.
