VC Deal Flow Signal — Live Engineering Acceleration

Live interactive demo of the methodology published in SSRN 6606558: A Longitudinal Panel of GitHub Engineering Velocity for Venture-Backed Startups.

What this Space does

Three tabs that exercise the public, no-auth GitDealFlow API (signals.gitdealflow.com/api/v1/*):

1. Live signals — top startups ranked by 14-day commit-velocity acceleration. Each row is a public-data delta computed deterministically from the GitHub REST API with the bot filter applied (Dependabot/Renovate/GitHub Actions excluded).
2. Glossary search — the 84-term controlled vocabulary (Code-Side Sourcing, Commit Velocity, Two-Period Confirmation, etc.). Same corpus as the the-data-nerd/vc-deal-flow-signal-glossary dataset.
3. Cite this — copy-paste BibTeX, RIS, APA, MLA, Chicago, and Wikipedia {{cite journal}} snippets for the paper and the dataset.
