There is no documentary evidence showing that the petitioner's construction projects affected the field in a major way or influenced civil engineering practices. Exploratory business meetings did not yield specific projects demonstrating major significance, publications alone are insufficient without evidence of major impact, and speculation about future impact is not evidence.
