Similar websites usually only list the companies and their finished outputs - the products and services they sell to others. We also list the input companies.

Inputs are not only the raw materials, tools, processes, software, facilities, supply chains, and human capital used, but also educational institutions and ancillary spaces for collaborating and working remotely. Outputs produced by one company become inputs for another company to help them produce their outputs, which in turn are bought, used, and maintained by yet another company.
