Frequently asked questions

What is a release confidence score?

A composite, explainable 0–100 measure of how safe a release is, combining test coverage of the change, governance gate status, open spec drift, and change blast radius. It replaces a gut-feel or single green-CI ship decision with a number you can reason about.

How is the score calculated?

This calculator weights four signals: test coverage (30%), governance gates (30%), spec drift (20%), and blast radius (20%). Each factor is shown individually so the score is explainable, not a black box.

Does Skaftor compute this automatically?

Yes. Skaftor derives release confidence from the same knowledge graph that powers blast radius and drift detection, so you get the score continuously rather than filling in a form.
