Product Graph

How an industry actually works, modelled.

Actors, workflows, constraints, assets, decisions, and what done means. The product becomes a guided walk through the domain.

An example Product Graph for a precious metals business. One order runs order, sourcing, refining, assay, production, delivery and done. The buyer places the order once the know-your-customer check clears it, the refinery refines the metal, a lab tests it, and a carrier carries it. The assay certifies purity, which allows production, and delivery needs the hallmark. A failed assay goes back to refining.
An example for a precious metals business: one order, from the buyer to delivery.

Inside the product, the Product Graph holds the work itself: who acts, in what order, under which rules, until it is done.

Inside the product

Four things every vertical has.

Modelled once, in a format we define, and reused by every screen and every agent.

Actors

Who acts in the industry: candidates and employers, regions and nurses, buyers and refineries.

Workflows

The steps the work actually follows, in order, including the ones that loop back.

Constraints and assets

Licences, materials, budgets, capacity and deadlines: what limits the work and what it uses.

Decisions and done

What has to be decided, by whom, and what counts as finished.

Modelled verticals

Same engine, different work.

The graph models the work. Agents run the loop. The dashboard gives the proof and the next action.

  • Nation.dev, tech talentDeveloper onboarding, adaptive tests and interviews, evidence per skill, personal upskilling, open roles and private match dashboards.
  • Healthcare partner, care staffingAvailability, licences, regions, roles, compliance and shift demand.
  • Precious metals businessSourcing, refining, assay and purity, production, compliance checks, delivery and the handling of deviations.
  • The next verticalStarts from the same attribute language, so the core is not rebuilt.

Inside and outside

Two graphs, one language.

The Product Graph is the inside view of a vertical; the Intelligence Graph is the outside view. Shared attributes join them, so the product knows who to talk to, when, and with what proof.

Diagram: the Product Graph, how the industry works, and the Intelligence Graph, who is in the market, side by side and joined by shared attributes, with the agents working across both.
