Question 1

Is Framework or Microsoft Fabric better?

Accepted Answer

Framework scores 67.0 and Microsoft Fabric scores 67.0 on the tashan score, which measures upkeep and freshness gated by real adoption. Neither number is a security audit and neither can be bought. The gap is narrow, so compare the evidence rather than the headline.

Question 2

Are Framework and Microsoft Fabric safe to install?

Accepted Answer

Framework: no known advisories, no build provenance. Microsoft Fabric: no known advisories, runs an install script, no build provenance. Every capability tashan measures is checked against the OSV advisory database at the version you would install today, for install-time scripts and for build provenance. The audit reads public evidence and never executes anything.

Question 3

How were these two compared?

Accepted Answer

Both were measured on the same day by the same scorer, from public signal only — npm download volume and publish cadence, repository activity, maintainer count and registry status. Nobody can pay to change a score, a rank or a listing.

tashan score	67	67	upkeep + freshness, gated by adoption
Adoption evidence	59k/wk	1k/wk	the raw public signal the score came from
Last release	active	active	npm publish or repo push
Upkeep	62	77	cadence, maintainers, status
