Why Enterprise Software Needed a Product Graph (and Why Nobody Built One Until Now).
A 6-month research arc on why every prior attempt at the enterprise-SaaS knowledge graph failed: shape drift, ontological vagueness, and the missing 88-node-type backbone. Here's the architectural breakthrough that finally made it tractable.

The Five Enrichment Scopes: Taxonomy, Row, Column, Group, Cell.
A walk-through of the runner architecture: how the same enrichment pipeline serves a full-taxonomy refresh and a single-cell fix, why advisory locks gate atomic runs, and how PYRAMYD subsidizes compute by recycling enrichments into the shared graph.

Battle Cards Are Stale by Design: Why CI Needs a Knowledge Graph.
Klue's own data: battle cards refresh every 60-90 days, competitors change material things every 11 days. The 6-to-8× gap is the structural failure of document-centric CI. The substrate fix is a graph.
