How entries are reviewed

Aerospace Index uses public-source review. Entries are included only when there is a source-checkable role in aerospace, aviation manufacturing, test infrastructure, supply chain, workforce, logistics, human systems, regulation, or regional aerospace ecosystem building.

Core entries

Federal labs, major universities, anchor manufacturers, and primary cluster organizations are reviewed at least once per quarter.

Context entries

National context clusters, smaller companies, and early-stage entries are reviewed at least twice per year or when a correction is submitted.

Status discipline

Entries may be marked source-checked, listed, or needs review. If a source becomes unavailable or outdated, the entry may be downgraded until rechecked.
