Describe the task
Rate the task on complexity, how sensitive the data or systems involved are, how reversible it is, and how much human review it will realistically get before shipping.

How it works
Calculate a weighted risk score
Sensitivity and reversibility are weighted most heavily, since an irreversible mistake touching sensitive data is the most expensive kind. A production-shipping task adds a further weighting.
Act on the highest-risk factors
The result flags exactly which factor is driving the risk — thin review, high sensitivity, poor reversibility, or high complexity — with a specific mitigation for each.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a security scanner?
No. It is a self-assessment based on the answers you enter — it does not scan code, read a repository, or detect vulnerabilities. It helps you decide how much caution a task deserves before you start.
Why are sensitivity and reversibility weighted more than complexity?
A highly complex but easily reversible, low-sensitivity task (like refactoring an internal script) is much lower-stakes than a simple change to a payments flow that is hard to undo. The weighting reflects that a mistake's cost matters more than the task's difficulty.
What should I do with a high risk score?
Follow the specific next steps returned — they target the factor driving the score, such as adding a second reviewer for sensitive data, staging the rollout, or breaking a complex task into smaller pieces.
Can I re-score a task partway through?
Yes, and it's recommended. If you discover mid-task that a change touches more sensitive data or is harder to reverse than expected, re-run the score with updated answers.
Does a low score mean the task is safe?
It means the task scores low on these four factors specifically. Use judgment for anything the score doesn't capture, like unclear requirements or missing tests.
How We Compare
| Feature | MVPHub | GitHub Copilot | Cursor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scores task risk before any code is written | Included | Not included | Not included |
| Transparent, weighted scoring you can inspect | Included | Not included | Not included |
| Works without repository or code access | Included | Not included | Not included |
| Gives factor-specific mitigation steps | Included | Limited | Limited |
GitHub Copilot and Cursor can flag some risky patterns once code exists, using inline suggestions or chat. MVPHub instead scores the task itself before you start — from a short description of complexity, sensitivity, reversibility, and planned review — so you can decide how much caution it deserves up front.
