On second look, the transportation allocation doesn't align perfectly with the NGIAM. In the NGIAM, there is a lot more customization for certain fuel types of what they are allocated to. the crosswalk has them more (but not perfectly) uniform right now. For instance, jet fuel for gov sectors is exclusively allocated to Fed Defense in the NGIAM, but in the crosswalk its spread to all 92* sectors. That is just one example.

I would recommend closely alignment for m1 unless you think it should be handled differently.

I will look again. The original flow mapping of the fuel type Jet Fuel Transportation is a superset of the ultimate mapping, which also depends on the A-79 vehicle type. So for example military aircraft are only mapped to 928110. But that doesn't mean it was done correctly in all cases.
