Methodology
Evaluation Methodology
AS9100Hub evaluates aerospace and defense software using a vendor-neutral framework focused on industry fit, compliance coverage, integration depth, traceability and adoption signals. Vendors do not influence scoring.
Evaluation criteria
Every platform in the directory is scored against the same criteria:
- Aerospace fit (1–5)
- Defense fit (1–5)
- Compliance coverage: AS9100, ITAR, DFARS, CMMC
- Functional depth in its primary category
- Integration depth across ERP, PLM, QMS, MES
- Traceability and audit readiness
- Adoption signals across primes and Tier 1 suppliers
Independence
Vendor presence in the directory is independent of paid placement. Sponsored vendors are clearly disclosed and do not receive scoring uplift.
