The result is based on ratio of number of commits and code additions from initial and final time ranges.
Initial time range – from 14 Aug, 2023 to 14 Nov, 2023
Final time range – from 15 May, 2024 to 14 Aug, 2024
It is basically a number of most active contributors responsible for 80% of contributions.
Bus factor tries to assess "What happens if a key member of the team is hit by a bus?". The more there are key members, the lower the risk.
The nanocurrency/nano-node repository has a bus factor of 5.
Medium risk, some knowledge concentrated in a few people

The nanocurrency/nano-node GitHub repository is the primary software that powers the Nano cryptocurrency. Nano is an open-source cryptocurrency that focuses on instant payments, scalability, and simplicity. It operates on a block-lattice data structure, which allows each account on the network to have its own blockchain.
The nano-node software is written in C++, and is responsible for running the Nano protocol, validating transactions, keeping a ledger of balances, and handling peer-to-peer communication. Developers can leverage this code to deploy their nodes in the Nano network, create wallets, and build services that need to tap into the Nano blockchain.
The repository is actively maintained and regularly updated by the Nano core development team. Other community users can also contribute to the repository by submitting pull requests. To keep the code at a high standard, the Nano development team ensures all contributions follow a set of guidelines, including coding style and rules for submitting and reviewing changes.
The repository includes a detailed README file, which describes the Nano protocol itself, how to set up and run a node, and instructions for developers who want to contribute to the codebase. For debugging and helping out new users, it features an Issues section where users can report bugs or ask for help, as well as a Wiki section for assistance and learning.
