Governance
A small core team at Main Street Wealth maintains the hub. Decisions on new tools, breaking changes, and dataset methodology happen in public, through RFCs on GitHub.
- Routine PRs are reviewed and merged by any maintainer.
- Breaking changes or new categories get an RFC with a 7-day comment window.
- Dataset methodology changes require a documented justification and version bump.
Code of conduct
