How It Works

  1. Build your knowledge graph — add concepts as nodes, then draw causal and logical connections between them.
  2. Tag with context — attach What, Where, and When tags to enrich each concept with structured metadata.
  3. Investigate — follow chains of causality, filter by tags, and uncover patterns invisible in linear notes.
