agent-device vs Stagehand
Both are Grade A and 2.8 points apart, so choose on what you weigh most. agent-device leads on supply-chain integrity and transparency; Stagehand leads on adoption and rests on broader evidence. Note: agent-device's evidence coverage is thinner (coverage B vs A) — its score rests on fewer independent signal types.

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption, scaled by an evidence-confidence factor. Grade bands: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Signals refresh daily. Full methodology v4.4 →
