# Relationship Graph

Publisher: Altss LLCPublished 2026-01-06Content modified 2026-01-06

A relationship graph maps connections between people, entities, vehicles, and deals to show influence, control, and routing pathways.

**Allocator relevance:** **Graphs reveal who actually influences decisions and how to reach them—often more predictive than titles.**

### Expanded Definition

A relationship graph links principals, CIOs, controllers, trusts, holding companies, SPVs, and portfolio entities. For allocator intelligence, graphs help with: household mapping, beneficial ownership context, introduction paths, and detecting conflicts of interest.

Graphs must be evidence-weighted; otherwise they become “pretty connections” that mislead.

### Decision Authority & Governance

Governance defines relationship types, directionality, confidence thresholds, and how conflicts are represented. It also defines entity resolution rules so the graph doesn’t split into duplicates.

### Common Misconceptions

- A graph is the same as a list of relationships.

- More edges means more truth.

- Graphs don’t need freshness (relationships change).

### Key Takeaways

- Graphs add routing and influence context.

- Confidence and freshness are mandatory in graphs.

- Deduplication is graph quality.
