DSPy holds an Evidaxis momentum score of 46.8 of 100 on methodology m2, snapshot 2026-08-08, measured within the Agent Frameworks cohort (n = 17). No axis is currently rising within the cohort, and no second (citation) axis is available, so it sits below the two-axis gate.
Derived signals
second-order reads, computed from the published series
Three signals ship when the commit series is statistically sufficient; the rest are held in a reserved state
until the data supports them. A reserved signal shows its reason, never a fabricated number.

Downstream packages depending on pypi/dspy (deps.dev), captured point-in-time each snapshot.
An adoption signal, not part of the momentum score.
Verdict
DSPy is tracked. No axis is currently rising relative to its cohort, and it has no second (citation) axis available.
Path to Rising: needs development velocity to turn positive within its cohort; its citation history to mature (at least 3 completed years) and rise.
