=Hubs Pages=
*The main page for Hubs scorecard can be found: [[Hubs Scorecard (Academic Paper)]]*For the current a tracker of work in progress for the dataset building for the Hubs datasheet go to: [[Hubs: Mechanical Turk]]*For a tracker of work in progress scorecard go to [[Hubs: Hubs Data BuildBuilding]]*For a high-level overview of the variables Hubs for the scorecard go to [[Hubs: Hubs Data]]
=Background=
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)
#*See section below ____4.2
#Collecting the remaining manual data (next step)
=Variables to be Used=
 
Old variable list (see Hubs Data.xls) contains 18+3 variables. Overlap with new variable list is ~50%
 
==Current Complete List==
'''As of Week of 7/11'''
#Onsite temporary workshops v. networking events
#Curriculum v. code school
 
=====General Approach Group 4=====
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.

===='''Curriculum and Code School====''' 
'''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.
===='''Onsite OH Investors v. mentors====Mentors'''
*'''Potential Turks''':
#Search allintext:"office hours" site:URL
##search for 'fund'. (Ctrl + F) If 'fund' appears in the description paragraph of office hours on any of the five pages, mark ''investor OH'' as 1. Otherwise mark as DNE and copy the description paragraph of office hours of all five pages.
===='''Onsite temporary workshops v. networking events===='''Temporary Workshops''' *'''Desc''': *'''Characteristics''':**The purpose is learning and discussing **Often have a specific topic: business issue (e.g. online marketing) or techniques learning (e.g. intro to Java script)**In the forms of: workshop, class, panel, project, XX session, seminar, series, intro to XX**Exception: tech meetup is usually a workshop(e.g. C++ programmer meetup, http://techranchaustin.com/events/) *'''TBD Points''':**Do we care about what particular workshops (e.g. coding, leadership, etc.)?**Summits/major events *'''Potential Turks''':**See Turk for Both Below '''Networking Events''' *'''Desc''': *'''Characteristics''':**The purpose is to meet fellow entrepreneurs and experts and networking with them**Focus on experience sharing or communication as opposed to discussing a specific topic or technical subject**In the forms of: meetup, networking, happy hour, info session?, luncheon, XX night, socials, talks??, community XX *'''TBD Points''': *'''Potential Turks''':**See Turk for Both Below 
*'''Turk for Both 1 of 2''':
*#Search the Search Text 1 (allintext: events site: URL) and choose link to "Events", "Calendar", or related. Record 'url' on SOURCE If this does not exist, go to Step 7
#For all events that are related to scoial activities and networking (e.g. "Social," "Meet Up," "Breakfast"/"Lunch"/"Happy Hour", "Movie Night"/"Bowling"), count the number of the events into NETWORKING
 ===='''Onsite VC v. Angel Investors===='''
*Notes: Few companies have a section for their onsite VCs or angel investors. Even the company(Innovation Pavilion) that has Angel programs and VC programs does not conduct the programs by itself, but cooperate with external angel investors or VCs. Some companies have mentors or board members who are from VCs, but it does not mean they will invest in the member startups in those companies.

==Generating the Hubs Data==
All files can be found in the E:/Mcnair/Projects/Hubs/Searching
Recommended to select the CSV and Excel worksheets because there are many JSON files
