Visible links are distinct-entity co-mentions only. No self-alias edges were detected in this window. Edges are ranked by a notability score that combines document count with source diversity (+10% per independent source), cross-type relevance (+30% when endpoints are different entity types), endpoint specificity (×0.6 when one endpoint is a generic topic/keyword, ×0.3 when both are), recency (fresh connections get up to ×1.0, decaying to ×0.7 for connections inactive 30+ days — measured on both ingestion time and article publication date, so connections backed by recently published news surface above ones where old articles were recently scraped), and snippet evidence (proximity-weighted: ×1.0 when both entities appear in the same sentence within the evidence passage, ×0.9 when in the same paragraph, ×0.8 when far apart in the same passage, ×0.5 when no verifiable passage exists), so multi-source cross-type connections between named entities that are actively evolving and have same-sentence evidence surface above high-count single-source stale ones with weak proximity. On the canvas, brighter lines indicate more shared documents, and a brighter cyan ring around a node indicates more distinct co-mentioned entities (network hubness). Evidence-only mode is ON: the canvas draws only 63 of 126 edges — those with at least snippet evidence (both entities appear within 500 characters in the same document) or a classified civic relationship type (acquisition, funding, partnership, appointment, legal, policy, memorial, award, infrastructure). 63 bare co-mentions with no verifiable passage and no nameable civic context are hidden so the visual graph shows only connections a reviewer can verify on the page. The canvas is currently arranged as concentric rings ordered by mention count. The canvas supports scroll-to-zoom and drag-to-pan for navigating dense clusters. Node labels are shown for the most-mentioned entities at default zoom; zooming in progressively reveals labels for smaller entities so dense clusters can be explored. Co-mention is not proof of partnership, ownership, causation, or endorsement.
