What we add

Topic graph

A wire service tags a release with a category, once. It doesn't maintain a durable graph over time. We connect them to a topic graph an agent can query.

Data Center https://decisioninsights.ai/term/data-center/ Network Operator https://decisioninsights.ai/term/network-operator/ High performance computing https://decisioninsights.ai/term/high-performance-computing-hpc/ and 3 more

Counted facts

A protocol or open source project keeps no vendor list and publishes no figures of its own to check this against. This counts how it actually shows up across the graph -- articles that name it, the organizations named alongside it in those articles, similar projects, and organizations whose topic tags overlap with its own -- computed, not curated.
