Computed from public, sourced registry data. A construct is two to four parts that at least 10 organizations share (or 30% of an industry with fewer, never fewer than 5) and that hold together more often than chance would put them together. It is cross-industry when its organizations come from two or more sectors; each industry also has a standard architecture, the parts most of its organizations run together. Elements in at least 90% of instances are invariant; those in 20 to 80% are where organizations differ.
