Beacon

Open source powers everything—but nobody's watching the graveyard. 90% of modern software runs on open source packages, and a meaningful chunk of those lose their maintainers every year. Silently. Without warning. Then one day your build breaks, your security scanner fires, and you're looking at a 3-month rewrite that should have been a 2-week migration. That's the lagging indicator problem: by the time you find out, the cheap fix window is already closed.

Beacon solves this by predicting dependency abandonment 60 days before it happens. The tool scans your codebase, collects signals from 8 external sources—commits, maintainer activity, funding, issues, security vulnerabilities—and runs them through an XGBoost survival model to score every dependency 0-100. Critical packages surface automatically. Setup takes under 60 seconds: install the GitHub app (read-only, no code stored), select your repos, and boom—your risk dashboard is ready. SOC 2 is in progress, so security-conscious teams can deploy with confidence.

Most dependency tools are fire extinguishers. They flag CVEs after the exploit exists. Beacon is a smoke detector. It catches the decay before it becomes a disaster, so your team focuses on features instead of firefighting. Migration debt stops compounding. The 2-week proactive migration beats the 3-month fire drill every time.
