Composes with	If the five-contributor bar is ever met, this is the widest observability grant because Datadog meters hosts rather than events, which suits a fleet of rented spot instances that churns hourly.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	The clearest team gate: two maintainers employed at different companies is an institutional condition, not a paperwork one, and it is the reason a solo project cannot use this even after a year of work. No amount is published, so the value is null. Compare Sentry, which grants the same kind of plan to a single maintainer with no contributor count.
