On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Thomson Reuters is ahead of Sage. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Sage is ahead of Thomson Reuters. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Thomson Reuters is clearly ahead of Sage. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Thomson Reuters is slightly ahead of Sage.

Sage carries 2,183 GitHub stars across 122 public repos, with 6 repositories active in the last 90 days and 22 external contributors on record. Thomson Reuters shows 438 stars across 144 public repos, 8 active in the last 90 days and 0 external contributors.
