The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About EDAForge
EDAForge is a data-quality auditor renamed mid-flight, still finding its CRAN footing.
EDAForge's release feed shows a package changing identity between its first two tags. The v0.1.0 notes describe DataAudit, a data-quality auditing package built around audit_data(), reusable audit_rules() and audit_score(), with install instructions still pointing at vinodhpmd/DataAudit, while the repository now serves EDAForge. Only three tags exist, one of which is a bare compare link with no notes, and the most recent is a CRAN-policy cleanup rather than feature work.
