Defence ministries and departments

The ministries that direct the armed forces, set defence policy and hold the defence budget. It has no schema of its own: companies here are mapped on the Defence schema, and what it does not cover is recorded as gaps.

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 ministries and departments; what it finds is public for everyone.

Ministry of Defence2 parts

How automatable each primitive is, estimated from the 0 organizations mapped in public on the Defence schema, which this industry inherits: 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.
