Backlog vs Frog
These two are level on the tashan score (within 1 points), so the score does not decide it. The evidence rows below are where they differ. Both are measured the same way, on the same day, from public evidence only — so this is a comparison of two measurements rather than two marketing pages. How we measure ›
| Backlog | Frog | what it means | |
|---|---|---|---|
| tashan score | 75 | 74 | upkeep + freshness, gated by adoption |
| Adoption evidence | 32k/wk | 5k/wk | the raw public signal the score came from |
| Last release | active | active | npm publish or repo push |
| Upkeep | 69 | 85 | cadence, maintainers, status |
| Expertise grade | deep | solid | an LLM read of its own documentation against a fixed rubric |
| Security audit | no known advisories, runs an install script | no known advisories | a summary — the full audit, free, is on each dossier |

The full audit for each — the advisory ids, the version that fixes them and anything that runs at install time — is free on its own page: Backlog · Frog.
