Its named role connects research and acquisition structures with the consortium's development. Named people and institutions make the article’s capacity relationships concrete. Authorship, sponsorship, employment, founding, procurement, and participation are different connections and must retain their specific meanings. These routes preserve the people and organizations behind the programs and operational examples. ### Marketplace sources - [[articles/The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft#VII.
