Commit timezone consistent with stated geography
BENQI's assessment for RD-F-119 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
GitHub repo has only 8 total commits (last: 2023-01-11); commit-hour histogram is not statistically meaningful for timezone-anomaly detection. Team states Canada (JD Gagnon: Alberta/Fort Lauderdale, UTC-4 to UTC-7), Finland (Hannu Kuusi: Helsinki, UTC+3), and Singapore (Kuusi current, UTC+8) as geographies. DPRK-alert timezone would be UTC+9 concentrated commits. With 8 commits and a multi-timezone team, no anomalous clustering is detectable. No red DPRK timezone signal found; assessment is yellow due to insufficient data volume rather than any positive anomaly signal.

Methodology #
Determine whether the distribution of commit hours in the repo is consistent with the team's publicly stated geography (anomaly flag for DPRK-precursor pattern).
