Most systems treat a \u22125% move the same regardless of context. My hypothesis was that where a company sits in the market\u2019s structure matters more than the price move itself.
The engineering idea
I built a knowledge graph of the U.S. public markets with ~207k edges across ~21 relationship types, organized into four layers:
Operational: supply-chain relationships (SUPPLIES_TO, PRODUCES)
Flow: ETF and institutional ownership plumbing
Social: board interlocks (SHARES_DIRECTOR_WITH)
Environmental: geography / competition
For each layer, I compute centrality scores using PageRank-style methods (with inverse-degree weighting to avoid ETF super-nodes dominating).
These structural features are then combined with basic price/volume context and fed into a tree-based model (XGBoost) to rank stocks after sharp drawdowns
What surprised me
When I validated the rankings out-of-sample (2024\u20132025, using Alphalens to avoid look-ahead issues):\n* Operational and Flow edges provided most of the lift\n* Social edges (board interlocks) added much less than I expected\n* Graph features roughly doubled ranking quality versus price-only baselines\nThis wasn\u2019t obvious to me going in \u2014 I expected \u201csocial\u201d connections to matter more.
Why I\u2019m posting
I\u2019m in the process of turning this from a research notebook into a production dashboard, and before I lock in the graph schema I\u2019d love feedback from people who\u2019ve built large graphs in other domains.\nIn particular:\n* Have you seen board-interlock / social edges be predictive elsewhere?\n* Are there graph normalization tricks you\u2019ve found essential at this scale?\n* Any pitfalls you\u2019ve hit when mixing heterogeneous edge types?

Most systems treat a \u22125% move the same regardless of context. My hypothesis was that where a company sits in the market\u2019s structure matters more than the price move itself.
The engineering idea
I built a knowledge graph of the U.S. public markets with ~207k edges across ~21 relationship types, organized into four layers:
Operational: supply-chain relationships (SUPPLIES_TO, PRODUCES)
Flow: ETF and institutional ownership plumbing
Social: board interlocks (SHARES_DIRECTOR_WITH)
Environmental: geography / competition
For each layer, I compute centrality scores using PageRank-style methods (with inverse-degree weighting to avoid ETF super-nodes dominating).
These structural features are then combined with basic price/volume context and fed into a tree-based model (XGBoost) to rank stocks after sharp drawdowns
What surprised me
When I validated the rankings out-of-sample (2024\u20132025, using Alphalens to avoid look-ahead issues):\n* Operational and Flow edges provided most of the lift\n* Social edges (board interlocks) added much less than I expected\n* Graph features roughly doubled ranking quality versus price-only baselines\nThis wasn\u2019t obvious to me going in \u2014 I expected \u201csocial\u201d connections to matter more.
