`Spinout`	True if the company is a university spinout. A spinout is a company created to commercialise research or technology developed at a university or research institution. Two groups are included. The first is every company in the HESA spin-out register. The second is companies we identify ourselves from company websites and university announcements, and then judge to be spinouts; these are mostly recent spinouts that HESA has not published yet, and they are our assessment rather than an official register entry. · Related: HESA and The Data City guide	`boolean`	HESA and The Data City	Monthly
`SpinoutDate`	The date the company spun out. The two groups of spinouts date it differently. For a company in the HESA spin-out register this is the foundation date HESA records, which is often not the date the company was incorporated. For a company we identify ourselves it is the incorporation date, because no independent spinout date exists for those; we identify spinouts only among recent companies, where incorporation is close to the event. Use the Spinout knowledge base page to see which group a company falls in. · Related: HESA and The Data City guide	`string`	HESA and The Data City	Monthly
`SpinoutUniversities`	The university or research institution the company spun out from, as the HESA spin-out register names it. A company can be a joint spinout of more than one, in which case they are separated by a semicolon. This is populated for both groups of spinouts: for a register entry it is the provider HESA records, and for a spinout we identify ourselves it is the university named in the evidence we found. It is empty in the rare case where we judged a company to be a spinout but no university was named. · Related: HESA and The Data City guide	`array[string]`	HESA and The Data City	Monthly
