Organizations by public parts

Counts of what public research has found and sourced, each part with its source on the organization’s profile. They say what is known, not how much of the industry exists.

Deepen this industry

Focused research on the organizations with the fewest mapped parts in defence and aerospace contractors; what it finds is public for everyone.

How automatable each primitive is, estimated from the 0 organizations mapped in public on the Defence and aerospace contractors schema: the share of those with the primitive that run it on software. Estimate from public data: the share of mapped organizations that run this on software. Not a recommendation.

The rule, the same for every industry: with 5 or more organizations having the primitive, 50% or more of them on software is high, 20% or more medium, below that low. With fewer, the level rests on the primitive's layer alone and says "Layer only". Software parts are counted once per organization; a detected technology is named by its product. See the blueprint for which organizations run each.
