Goal

Turn a messy list of entities and relationships into a small inspectable graph.

Steps

1. Export nodes (people, companies, URLs) and edges (owns, paid, employed, cited) to CSV.
2. Import into Gephi or Graphistry / org-approved tool.
3. Apply force-directed layout; label only high-degree nodes to reduce clutter.
4. Compute degree; flag hubs and bridges for manual review.
5. Color by entity type; verify no accidental PII in node labels.
6. Export PNG + save project file for reproducibility.

Pitfalls

• Hairball graphs convince nobody — filter to a question.
• Layout implies nothing about causality.
