I am mostly interested in what you used to visualize the graph.

Good question — we used https://github.com/projectstorm/react-diagrams

#5Can I understand it as the UI layer for BPMN?

#6Ooo Plaid.. so advanced, so intuitive, much tech!
So how come going to production with you is a three month process involving endless spreadsheets and email exchanges? not at all as presented on website.
You've left your onboarding / compliance team behind while focusing on the cool stuff.

Our team will be gearing up for this soon, any additional details you can share?

Can you send me an email: jgreze plaid.com -- I'll see what I can do to help. For the vast majority of cases onboarding should be self-serve until you hit a certain level of scale, so I'd love to understand what's happening here and what we can do better.

There certainly is some conceptual overlap in defining an experience/decision making process as a directional graph.
However, to my limited knowledge of this, BPMN doesn't quite differentiate between its activities in terms of "does this need user interaction" vs "process this thing". In our case, we have pane nodes for the "need user interaction" activity and processor nodes for the "process this thing" activity.

User interaction is a distinct BPMN Activity Type, so BPMN can make this distinction quite unambiguously. Concrete BPMN implementations, IIRC, use varying amounts of the spec and have varying degrees to which Activity types are functionally rather than merely visual distinguished, so a particular BPMN tool may or may not make the distinction or treat it as significant.
