A primitive is in the blueprint when at least half of the best-mapped organizations have a sourced public part on it. Best-mapped means the most is known about them in public sources, not that they are run best. Counts are over organizations mapped in public on the Software & SaaS schema and placed in Software & SaaS or below.

Private by default: only what a company publishes, or public sources, reach the registry
Every value carries its source and a confidence label
Unknown is never shown as missing
