The Knowledge Graph
Every hypothesis, correlation, and data source builds a persistent knowledge graph. Over time, this becomes your organization's decision map — a living record of what you've investigated and what the data says.
What's in the graph
| Node type | What it represents | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Hypothesis | A research question with a verdict | "Does ERCOT demand correlate with Dallas weather?" (Green) |
| Entity | A concept extracted from research | "Dallas Temperature", "ERCOT Load", "VIX Volatility" |
| Source | A data source used in research | "NOAA CDO Weather", "EIA Electricity Generation" |
| Edge type | What it means |
|---|---|
| CORRELATES_WITH | Statistical correlation between entities (includes r-value, p-value, method) |
| INVESTIGATED | A hypothesis examined this entity |
| USED_SOURCE | A hypothesis used data from this source |
| MENTIONED_IN | An entity appears in data from this source |
How it grows
The graph starts with 104 data source nodes (the catalog). As you research:
- Ask a question → a Hypothesis node appears
- Agents discover data → Source nodes connect to the hypothesis
- Analysis runs → Entity nodes are created from correlations
- Correlations found → CORRELATES_WITH edges with r-values connect entities
- More research → the graph densifies. Connections between past and current research emerge.
Why it matters
A CEO asked about interest rates and mortgage applications 3 months ago. Today, someone asks about housing starts and lumber prices. The graph already knows these are connected — interest rates link both investigations. The system doesn't re-discover what it already knows.
This is the anti-silo architecture. Marketing's research connects to Operations' research connects to Finance's research — through shared entities and data sources, not departmental boundaries.
Using the graph
- Click a hypothesis in the right panel to filter the graph to its connected nodes
- Shift+click nodes to multi-select and ask about relationships
- Search to find specific entities by name
- Hover to see node labels and types
- The graph polls every 15 seconds — new nodes appear as agents work
