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

The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
