Intelligence Graph

The Intelligence Graph is a visual network that shows connections between companies, markets, technologies, trends, and events. It reveals hidden relationships that linear reports miss — like a mind map that connects your entire competitive landscape.

Explain Like I'm 5

Imagine a big web, like a spider web, but instead of bugs it catches ideas. Each knot in the web is something important — a company, a technology, a market trend. The threads connecting the knots show how they're related. "This company uses this technology," "This trend affects this market." The Intelligence Graph helps you see the big picture — how everything in your market is connected — which is really hard to see when you're looking at one report at a time.

What Does It Do?

The Intelligence Graph takes all the data MarketGeist has collected — from your reports, competitor analyses, news articles, signal detections, and watchlists — and builds an interactive network visualization. Nodes represent entities (companies, technologies, markets, people) and edges represent relationships (competes with, partners with, uses technology, operates in market). You can explore, filter, and drill into any node.

Why It Matters

Hidden connections — discover relationships you didn't know existed (e.g., two competitors share the same investor or technology supplier)

Ecosystem mapping — see the full ecosystem around a market, not just individual players

Supply chain visibility — trace technology dependencies and supplier relationships

Acquisition target identification — find companies that are well-connected in your target market

Strategic positioning — understand where you sit in the network and identify white space opportunities

How to Use the Intelligence Graph

Go to Dashboard → Intel Graph

Or access the graph from within a workspace for a scoped view of that workspace's intelligence.

Explore the network

The graph renders with your tracked companies and markets as nodes. Click any node to see its connections and metadata. Drag to rearrange, scroll to zoom.

Filter by entity type

Use the filter panel to show only specific entity types — companies, technologies, markets, or people — to reduce visual complexity.

Investigate connections

Click on edges (connecting lines) to see the nature of the relationship and the evidence behind it. Follow the chain to discover multi-hop connections.

Pro Tip

Look for "bridge nodes" — entities that connect two otherwise separate clusters in the graph. These are often the most strategically important players: they could be acquisition targets, key partners, or potential threats. A technology company that bridges your market and an adjacent market could be planning to connect the two.
