Platform Integration¶
Assigning a NAICS code to an Account unlocks industry-aware features throughout the platform. Because all four levels of the hierarchy are implied by a single 6-digit code, the platform can aggregate and filter data at any level — Sector, Subsector, Group, or full Industry — without any extra configuration.
Where NAICS Data Is Used¶
| Feature | How industry data is used |
|---|---|
| Dashboard — Business Size by NAICS Sector | Groups all accounts by their 2-digit Sector and plots company size distribution per sector |
| Dashboard — Average Score by NAICS | Aggregates assessment scores at the Sector or Subsector level for benchmarking |
| Dashboard Pivot Table | Allows pivoting by Sector, Subsector, Group, or full Industry code |
| Ecosystem Map | Filter the map by NAICS Sector or Subsector to visualize geographic concentration |
| Intake Form — Industry Type page | Lets a submitting company select their 6-digit code; the result is stored on their Account |
| Web Reports | Dynamically populate report content based on the account's industry classification |
| Settings → Custom Data → NAICS | Admins control which codes are active and which are flagged for MEP programs |
How a Code Gets Assigned¶
A NAICS code is stored at the Account level and can be set in two ways:
- Intake form — the Industry Type page of an intake form lets the submitting company search and select their 6-digit code. On submission, it is saved to their Account automatically.
- Account details — an admin can set or update the NAICS code manually from the Account details page.
Once set, the code propagates to all features in the table above without any additional steps.
