OpenCTI vs tidycmprsk
A side-by-side editorial comparison of OpenCTI and tidycmprsk — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
OpenCTI vs tidycmprsk: at a glance
What is OpenCTI?
OpenCTI spends a release unblocking queues and hardening upserts
7.260817.0 is a fix release. The most consequential item is malformed STIX messages nacking forever and blocking worker queues indefinitely — a stall in the ingestion path rather than a display bug. Alongside it: upsert clearing an existing createdBy when incoming confidence is higher, draft upserts crashing on existing attack patterns, OTP handling in the stream middleware, and case template relation authorization. Score fields were added to threat actor groups, intrusion sets and malware.
What is tidycmprsk?
Competing-risks modelling that now moves only when its neighbours do.
tidycmprsk wraps competing risks regression and cumulative incidence estimation in tidy-style output, so results slot into gtsummary tables and ggsurvfit plots. The last two releases are small: 1.1.2 sorts tidy.tidycuminc() output by stratum, 1.1.1 is an HTML5 documentation update for CRAN. The substantive work in the window is 1.1.0, which reorganised the gtsummary relationship.

◆ Current state
7.260817.0 is a fix release. The most consequential item is malformed STIX messages nacking forever and blocking worker queues indefinitely — a stall in the ingestion path rather than a display bug. Alongside it: upsert clearing an existing createdBy when incoming confidence is higher, draft upserts crashing on existing attack patterns, OTP handling in the stream middleware, and case template relation authorization. Score fields were added to threat actor groups, intrusion sets and malware.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform's feature energy went into the connector catalog and integrations rework in July, and the releases since have been consolidating: mass operations on relation times, shareable saved searches, and now a pass over ingestion robustness. Adding score to more entity types continues the slow enrichment of the data model that runs underneath the feature work.
◆ Prediction
Given score arriving on three entity types in one release, expect it to keep spreading across the data model, and the queue-blocking class of bug to draw more worker-side hardening.

Competing-risks modelling that now moves only when its neighbours do.
◆ Current state
tidycmprsk wraps competing risks regression and cumulative incidence estimation in tidy-style output, so results slot into gtsummary tables and ggsurvfit plots. The last two releases are small: 1.1.2 sorts tidy.tidycuminc() output by stratum, 1.1.1 is an HTML5 documentation update for CRAN. The substantive work in the window is 1.1.0, which reorganised the gtsummary relationship.
◆ Where it's heading
The package has spent its releases handing responsibilities to neighbouring packages rather than growing its own surface. Plotting was deprecated then made defunct in favour of ggsurvfit::ggcuminc(), and 1.1.0 moved the regression table methods so that gtsummary could drop tidycmprsk as a dependency. What remains is the estimation core plus the S3 methods that let other packages consume it, which is a deliberate narrowing.
◆ Prediction
Expect releases to continue tracking changes in gtsummary and the broader tidy survival stack rather than adding estimation features.
