Many of these are not what will be defined as Hubs. We will be creating a the variables for the scorecard go to help subjectively define [[Hubs: Hubs based on certain characteristics. Data]]

=List of Variables=For a more information on Mechanical Turks in general, -depth of the variables and procedure please see : [[Mechanical Turk (Tool)Hubs: Hubs Scorecard]]. This page will reflect the variables being collected separated into three categories. Each variable will include a breakdown of levels being collected if the definition is not trivial and an approximate approach.

 '''Group 3: In Between 1 and 2'''Variables that aren't too easy or difficult to find and automate.#Onsite accelerator#Alumni mentor---vs. other mentors???  '''Group 4: The Hard to Differentiate'''The key property of this group is that there are several similar variables, which would be difficult for a turk to differentiate. In order to fix this, we will need to create filters akin to the DSM5 scorecard. See the below section.#Onsite VC v. Angel Investors#Onsite OH Investors v. mentors#Onsite temporary workshops v. networking events#Curriculum v. code school  '''Group 5: The Need further Discussion Before Collection'''Variables that need to be developed more prior to collection.#Franchise and multiple locations within a city#Community Membership ==Filters/Scorecard=====General Approach===The Scorecard will be broken down into three main parts: description, characteristics, andTBD parts. The procedure for creating these will be as follows: the description will be determined, develop the characteristics after looking over examples, the creation of possible mechanical turks that have complete accuracy even if not comprehension (e.g. a task will that always guarantees that there is an onsite mentor that covers only 40% of firms, but never misspecifies the existence of mentors), and auditing of the results. ===Example==='''Curriculum'''*'''Desc''': The potential hub provides training programs for the founders of startups that might have human capital deficits that will lead to them not being about to adequately implement their ideas.*'''Characteristics''': **Education that is for a founder (as opposed to code schools which can be for people who just want to join a startup)***Code schools are for startup labor supply**Active input into a current entrepreneurial endeavor***e.g. " The program is designed to augment and support the real-life business experiences that the students are facing every day in their entrepreneurial endeavors" **Not an ad hoc session, not a one time meeting but a full "course", evidence of this could be**Has evidence of a integrated curriculum leading to a new compentance **Has evidence of a set fixed start and end dates that last XXX long**Is a session linked to others that regularly occurs*'''TBD points'''**Do we care about outsourcing?*'''Potential Turk''' '''Code School'''*'''Desc''': training programs that teach coding, data processing, webpage building and other technical skills.*'''Characteristics''':**Target group are the developers or people who want to join the startups but not the founders themselves**Scheduled classes, not a one time meeting (as opposed to workshops) '''Temporary Workshops'''*'''Desc''':a discussion/learning As of a group Week of people on specific subjects*'''Characteristic''':**One time**Have a topic7/subject/goal ***e.g. learn to code workshop: Java script 101 =Additional Resources=#[[Mechanical Turk (Tool)]]#Veeral has created a google automating procedure for different lists   =Work in Progress===Goals for WIP==#For GROUP 1, creation of mechanical turk steps:#*'''EXAMPLE:'''#*'25''Twitter Activity'''#**'''STATUS''': Complete/In Progress/Not Started#**'''Previously Collected''': Yes/No#**'''Published on Mechanical Turk''': Yes/No#**'''Audited''': Yes/No#**'''Updates''':#**'''Code''':#For GROUP 4:##Scorecard Example##Potential Mechanical Turk Steps (e.g. if specific organization is on website)##Mechanical Turk Example (GROUP 1)##Add Comments on:###How much manual work remains/What is missing###Any remaining difficulties#For GROUPS 2 and 3:##Brainstorm potential ways to find data##Follow Steps in Group1  ==Actual WIP==

In order to do so, we will evaluate the places Finding date based on certain variables. Previous variables for potential hubs were collected. Below, we list those as well as other variables we think might be helpful to build out the scorecard. Ideally, we would have the following variables (not collected previously):#Onsite VC/Angel/Investors (Count or binary)our strategies##Comments:##Mechanical Turk Comments:#Onsite Mentors (binary) --- ''Are these the same as advisers?''##Comments:##Mechanical Turk Comments:#"Office hours" with investors or mentors (binary)##Comments: Previously collected included number of events, but did not separate them into categories (e.g. networking events, workshops, etc.).

Given the time cost to either record number of tweets in a month or look up more than 10 tweets, we decided to record the date of the last 10th tweetg.

If there is no information of events on the website, record DNE. Note***: ''Events include meetups, workshops, info sessions etc. We do not want to count them separately since it is difficult to do so. Most companies put all the events on the same section and do not put event types in the titles of the events. We have to look into the details of the events to find out the type and even we do so some events descriptions do not allow us to determine the type easily. Differentiating the types of the events demands more time and effort and therefore is not suitable to be a mechanical turk project.''  *'''Onsite Mentors'''Levels: ''UPDATE: written, not published, on amazon's mechanical turk site''#Copy the text in the Search Text into a search engine.#Click on the result that is the website of the company.
