The article deals with issues related to the mechanization of methods existing in Russian practice that allow assessing the level of influence on favorable conditions for the development of small innovative enterprises based on military institutions, and a new comprehensive indicator, which, when creating this database, is a general index of innovation. Based on two factors illustrating only opportunities for development and favorable conditions, and the true results of this activity, methods are proposed for predicting the importance of each element in terms of its impact on the level of innovative development, and, based on this, innovators are usually offered approaches to assigning weight modules to factors used in various methods of calculating the indicator. In the conditions of the current financial crisis, the reason for the success of small enterprises is the impact of their new development system and getting more opportunities for their functioning, to ensure a high level of planning of production processes in small companies. The author examines the Pleiades Correlation Graphs, which is formed based on the method of compiling a list of conditions that affect the development of small enterprises for small businesses based on military companies, to see how small enterprises are in transition. Thus, a methodology for the influence of favorable conditions on the development of small innovative enterprises based on military institutions is proposed, the choice of factors and the principle of assigning weight coefficients for them are substantiated, and a variant of the development of this methodology is shown. Further research is needed to obtain a more complete picture of the relationship between enabling environments and the development of small innovative enterprises based in military institutions.
