Research log
Research is cumulative. A single pass is not a complete map.
Continue research runs one additional pass using API credits. To grow another generation, click an artist, research that artist, then return here and increase Hops.

Recent research
What qualifies as influence?
An explicit artist declaration in primary material, read in context. The app checks the exact statement against the retrieved source and uses a model to assess speaker identity, direction, and scope. Automated acceptance is labeled separately from human review. Agreement between model passes is not independent corroboration.
Admiration, favorite-record lists, collaborations, similarity, and genre do not qualify by themselves. A member speaking personally is not automatically speaking for their band. Inaccessible sources stay unverified. A completed search with no qualifying result is different from a blocked source or a provider failure.
Each request is bounded to 12 search tool calls and 8 candidate connections. The owner can run up to 10 requests per day, with 2 active at once. Each pass uses your API credits and seeks additional connections beyond the saved graph. These limits bound activity, not a fixed dollar cost or a claim of completeness.
