Who bridges the market?
Anthropic holds the map's least-constrained seat — it bridges 6 of 8 verticals, 1.5× the effective reach of the next broker.
Constraint counts mapped ties only — a missing tie between two partners fakes a gap to bridge. On verified ties alone the top seat holds.
Who should we meet first?
Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind sit 3 mapped handshakes out — all 24 traced routes open through AIUC's inferred tie.
Routes are the cheapest we can document — quieter, shorter routes may exist. Dashed hops are inferred ties, not yet verified.
What does the market look like, measured?
In measured-similarity space, Agents of Chaos sits closest to Magic.dev, Cognosys, and Alibaba Qwen.
Similarity is measured on mapped ties, so quiet companies drift outward. AoC's own seat rests on 5 edges, 4 of them rival ties.
Which single handshake matters most?
Agents of Chaos's best new tie on the map is Accel — barely ahead of Index Ventures — one edge would cut its mapped market distance by 15.4%.
Resistance rewards thin wiring — and thin often means a quiet portfolio, not a small one. Verified ties alone put Anthropic first.
Which ties should exist but don't?
21 vendor→buyer ties are the map's likeliest blind spots — starting with Robust Intelligence (Cisco) × Notion.
These are predictions, not observations — a predicted tie may already exist privately. Base rates come from mapped densities, which undercount.
Where is the market empty?
No business tie on the map links the 28 security vendors to the 22 banks — open ground or quiet deals; the loudest corridor, security × labs, wires 6.89% of its possible pairs.
An empty cell is a fact about the map: bank and hospital security deals are the least announced in the ecosystem. Open ground — or quiet deals.
Who holds the core — who still looks outside?
7 of 59 dual-wired companies sit in the prospect corner — investor-core, business-quiet on the map — led by Vercel (AI SDK), Revolut, and Ambience Healthcare.
Coreness counts mapped ties — a quiet dealbook reads as crust. Core means well-connected on record, nothing more (the null test agrees, p = 0.91).
Who else orbits our rivals?
The graph puts UiPath closest to the rival pack — 9 of the 14 flagged rivals rank it in their nearest 20.
Nominations are hypotheses from mapped wiring — near the rival pack means wired into red-teaming, not selling against us (or buying from us).
