1. Organizations seek metrics for open source communities before becoming engaged or using the software ^{[1-org-outside]}
2. Organizations seek metrics for open source communities that they actively engage or use the software ^{[2-org-engaged]}
3. Open source foundations seek metrics for helping open source communities ^{[3-foundation]}
4. Open source community leaders seek metrics for managing their communities ^[4-oss]

At the core are these use cases:

1. The View Metrics use case allows users to retrieve metrics for one repository and builds the basis for all of the above use cases.
2. The Compare Repositories use case allows users to provide multiple repositories for comparison.
