Legislative support offices

The offices that serve a legislature: budget and audit offices, libraries and research services, clerks and legislative counsel. It has no schema of its own: companies here are mapped on the National legislatures and parliaments schema, and what it does not cover is recorded as gaps.

Baseline: National legislatures and parliaments v1
Inherited from: National legislatures and parliaments
Mapped on the schema: 0 of 0 placed here
Primitives: 59 in 8 parts

Deepen this industry

Focused research on the organizations with the fewest mapped parts in legislative support offices; what it finds is public for everyone.

How automatable each primitive is, estimated from the 0 organizations mapped in public on the National legislatures and parliaments 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.
