This force-directed graph maps connections between people and companies, derived from board membership data. Each node represents a person or organization, with edges indicating relationships like board membership or personal meetings. The visualization uses D3 version 7’s `forceSimulation` engine, combining `forceManyBody` for repulsion, `forceLink` for edge constraints, and `forceCenter` to keep the layout anchored. Interactive dragging is enabled through a custom `drag` interaction, while circles, text labels, and lines are rendered as SVG elements.
