## By the Numbers — 201-Day Full History (Sept 22, 2025 → Apr 11, 2026)
Two-person operation. $6,000/year operating budget. Receipts verifiable in git log.
- **1,471 commits** across 142 active days (median 10 commits/active-day, peak 58 in one day)
- **1,278,515 lines of code** across 5,585 files in 11 microservices
- **+3,016,548 net LoC** after 13.79M insertions and 10.78M deletions
- **86.2% of commits authored by founder** (Patrick Duggan); remainder split between Judge Dredd compliance bot and Dependabot
- **861 published blog posts** (120.9 story-density ratio) — content output of a 6-8 person marketing org
- **34 patent filings** in 201 days — portfolio valued $85M-$272M ARR conservative-to-moderate
- **2,955 compliance evidence files** across 41 subdirectories — every control traceable, every claim dated
- **DORA Elite tier verified**: 30.5 commits/day, <1 hour lead time, <1 hour MTTR, <5% change failure rate (evidence at /docs/evidence/dora.html — only 19% of professional engineering teams globally reach Elite)
- **Capital efficiency**: $0.0056 per IOC published — **416× more efficient than Shadowserver** ($2.5M annual budget, ~800K IOCs), **~40,000× more efficient than CISA** on a per-operational-dollar basis
