Connections
Exploring relationships between companies and individuals.
Problem
Understanding relationships between companies and individuals was difficult and time-consuming.
Users had to manually investigate data across multiple sources. Important connections between founders, relatives, addresses, and roles were hidden in large datasets.
This slowed down investigations and increased the risk of missing critical insights.
Goal
Make relationship discovery fast and intuitive.
- Help users identify hidden connections.
- Support investigative workflows for journalists, compliance teams, and financial monitoring.
- Turn complex data into clear insights.
Core insight
Users are not looking for data. They are looking for meaning.
The value is not in showing information, but in helping users understand how entities are connected.
Decision + solution
We designed a system for visualizing relationships between entities.
Connections are built from open data sources, including company registries, ownership structures, and public records.
Entities are represented as nodes, connected through shared attributes such as founders, directors, addresses, and affiliations.
- Users can explore connections step by step.
- Key relationships are surfaced visually.
- The system supports both quick checks and deep investigations.
- We worked closely with data sources and legal constraints to ensure accuracy and proper use of open data.
Visual-first interface designed for exploration.
Graph-based interactions help users navigate complex relationships without reading large amounts of data.
Supporting panels provide details and context for each entity.
