> Total repos cloned: 669
How big is this company? All the numbers I can find online suggest well below 100 people, and yet they have over 600 repos? Is that normal?

My org is currently at 7 people and we have 365 repositories associated with our github org. We've been around for a number of years and I'd guess that impacts the number of repos more than the number of team members.

If they have an architect that loves microservices and thinks every microservice needs its own repo that's what happens (insanity).
We have a ratio of roughly 7:1 (repos to engineers). It was probably closer to 12:1 at some point.

* Smaller projects that might have gone live, but have since been migrated elsewhere
* Core services
* Forks of certain supply chain dependencies that we've made improvements to.
