Archade is built around one core idea: entities + relationships.

The “graph” is simply the network formed when you connect:

• People (users/professionals)
• Companies (firms + brands)
• Projects (evidence)
• Products (materials/variants)
• Software (tools)
• Institutions (education)

Why the graph matters

When you link real entities together, you get:

• trust: relationships can be verified (teams, credits, employment)
• discovery: search becomes precise (“projects using X”, “people who did Y”)
• durability: your work history stays coherent over time

The highest-signal node: a project

A strong project page usually has:

• images + clear description (evidence)
• location + year (context)
• credits (who did what)
• linked company (who owned the work)
• linked products/software (what was used)

Projects guide: /help/projects

High-signal connections (without the “gaming”)

Some connections tend to make entities much more understandable and trustworthy:

• projects with clear credits/roles (when it was a team effort)
• projects linked to the right company/creator context
• company pages with real team members and offices
• products linked to real project usage (for brands)
• software listed where it genuinely shaped the work

Graph mistakes that weaken trust

• credits missing (“unknown team”)
• vague project descriptions (“modern villa” with no context)
• inconsistent company naming (same firm listed 3 ways)
• products listed without project proof
