- Research: What the Data Shows — Discovered Groupings in the Ratchet DatasetRun 551 people, 487 institutions and 1,247 sourced career edges through centrality and co-occurrence counts and the patterns nobody hand-picked fall out: Kissinger at the center, the White House as the real bridge desk, a five-person surveillance core, and the AI founders and AI regulators as one revolving cohort. With the findings that did not survive the count.
