About the project.
§ 1About this project
AI Deal Network is the companion site for a working paper that introduces three quantitative metrics for circularity in corporate ecosystems. Its purpose is twofold: to make the paper's data and case studies accessible to non-academic readers, and to serve as an open replication surface for researchers and journalists who wish to extend or contest the analysis.
The site is intentionally structured like a working paper. The home page summarises findings; the research section reproduces the paper in full; the methodology section provides the long-form technical companion; the case studies decompose individual cycles; the explore page exposes the raw network for inspection.
§ 2Acknowledgements
The project benefited from comments, data leads, and review from a number of readers whose contributions did not constitute an endorsement of any of its conclusions.
