Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
