Analysis

Our read

01

Docs leads the assessment.

5 of 6 visible controls pass in docs.

02

Code quality has the most room to improve.

8 visible controls remain open in code quality.

Default branch protected by ruleset

Covers 1 control
  • Default branch protected by ruleset

What Verify read

No ruleset or protection on the default branch.

Risk: An unprotected default branch can be written to directly, so a single mistaken push skips review entirely.

Protect the default branch with a ruleset.

Pull-request requirement on default branch

Covers 3 controls
  • Pull-request requirement on default branch
  • Required reviews
  • Human gate before merge

What Verify read

Required reviews: 0

Risk: Direct commits to the default branch ship unreviewed code, so no second person ever sees the change.

text
Require pull requests.
critical

Production approvers named

Covers 3 controls
  • Production approvers named
  • Production protection
  • Production reviewers resolved

What Verify read

No resolved production reviewers.

Risk: Unnamed production approvers mean deployment approval falls to whoever is nearby when the button needs pressing.

Name production reviewers.

Method

How Verify works

01

Read

Verify reads the repository at a pinned commit: settings, rulesets, workflows, and files.

02

Judge

Each control is checked against a written expectation. Same inspector, same criteria, every repository.

03

Prove

Every result shows the evidence Verify read. Assessments re-run daily, and changes are logged.
