What to stop doing if the numbers don't move

If stars stall 2 weeks post-launch:

  1. Increase the cadence of "State of MCP Security" blog to twice weekly instead of weekly.
  2. Prioritize VS Code extension installs (easier win than stars).
  3. Revisit competitive positioning in docs/comparisons.md and identify what else the field has done in the meantime.

Do NOT:

  • Rewrite the scanner.
  • Lower the compliance-evidence bar.
  • Add an account/login gate to unlock "premium" features.
  • Drop the deterministic-rules commitment.
