Quid reads large volumes of text information and then creates a visual, interactive map which can be used to interpret
hidden relationships and ideas
Each node represents a company;
nodes sized by degree represent the
number of connections that node has
with other nodes (i.e., similarity)
Connections represent similar
language/technology used
across nodes (companies)
A node bridging two clusters can indicate a
company that synthesizes disparate
technologies
Dense clusters contain
highly similar companies
Less distance between clusters
indicates a high number of inter-
related companies/technology
Greater distance between clusters
indicates a low number of inter-
related stories
Centrally located companies are core
to the conversation, indicating core
technology or bridging innovation
Peripheral clusters are
less central to the
conversation but are
more unique
Spread out clusters contain highly
differentiated technology
Similar nodes typically cluster together and
clusters are grouped by color
