Change Safety Confidence (CSC)

The CSC score is a 0-100 metric that answers one question: is it safe to deploy right now? Every point is accounted for. The score is fully deterministic — same cluster state always produces the same score.

Scoring Model

The CSC score is calculated from four weighted categories:

Score Ranges

Risk Detection

When the CSC score drops, the dashboard shows exactly why. Each risk has:
  • Severity — Critical, High, Medium, Low
  • Impact — how many points it costs
  • Resource — which deployment, pod, or node is affected
  • Recommendation — specific action to resolve it

Exclusions

System namespaces are excluded from scoring by default: kube-system, kube-public, kube-node-lease, changeguard-agent, amazon-guardduty. This prevents infrastructure components from dragging down your application safety score.
