summary
OSPO runs a every six months strategic viability assessment that scores projects across four key areas: project maturity (roadmap, releases, documentation), governance impartiality, community openness/adopters, and organizational engagement. Assessments use only publicly available data, publish results, and force a follow-up cycle with BU teams to agree actions and target dates. Examples: a project donated to a foundation has active releases but only internal contributors; a popular vendor‑owned project hides its roadmap so the company has low influence — recommendation is to increase organization's involvement.
