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.

Inference https://decisioninsights.ai/term/inference/ Intermediate Representation https://decisioninsights.ai/term/intermediate-representation-ir/ Machine Learning https://decisioninsights.ai/term/machine-learning-ml/ 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.
