=Abstract=
As of Spring 2016, a list of potential Hubs with a set of characteristics was created. Many of these are not what will be defined as Hubs. We will be creating a scorecard to help subjectively define Hubs based on certain characteristics.
=Work in Progress=
Our goal is to automate the collection of variables for potential hubs as much as possible. The key steps for the project are:
#Creating a '''comprehensive''' list of potential hubs (Complete)
##<code>E:\McNair\Projects\Hubs\Raw Program List</code> Contains 600 entities - vast majority are firmly not hubs (file pedigree unknown)
##<code>E:\McNair\Projects\Hubs\Hubs Data</code> - Contains 125 entities - many are not hubs (overlap with above file unknown, this file's pedigree from old Hubs project).
#Determining the best variables for the scorecard (Complete)
#Building '''"filters"''' for automating the collection (Complete)
#'''Running''' and '''auditing''' of the automation (In Progress)
#Collecting the remaining manual data (next step)
