Quality Score = (Feature Impact × Feature Count) / (Breaking Changes × Bug Introductions + 1). A release with high-impact features and zero breakage scores high. Weekly releases that introduce the bugs they fix next week score low.
Self-hosted platforms externalize upgrade costs to users (4-6 hours/week of testing, verification, documentation updates). Managed platforms absorb compatibility and testing — users get new capabilities without the weekly tax.
P1 — Weekly releases create 200-300 hours/year of change-management overhead. The Release Quality Score weighs feature impact against breaking changes and bug introductions.
