Interesting. How do you yourself use this(I am assuming of course you built it out of a need to want to have to track this data)?

I originally built it to track competitive moves in a specific sector. Turns out sales teams and recruiters get the most value from it as new exec hires are a strong outreach signal

“Real time”

a CTO at Starbucks started his presentation with "How many employees does Starbucks have?" .. and spends an hour explaining dynamic assesments.. hint- there is no count at any hour because the massive, distributed system has edge states and some noise.

Starbucks CTO explains carefully that they do not actually know how many employees there are, in their own enterprise, at any give hour

What would also be very interesting is a graph of relationships and movements. Let's see just how incestuous the boards really are, and what's going on with serial CEOs who move from one business to the next.

I worked on a knowledge graph map using Wikidata to get relationship between people and organizations, but data was limited to family, basic stuff. Being from Europe, there isn't an open data analogue of SEC. Now I will download this data, it is open so no license at all, and try to show these kind of relationships. It has the potential of being very investigative, especially for USA residents.
