Project Framing
A civic curiosity project built from harvested and enriched Montgomery County business
records. The mycelium cloud is an approximate 3D projection of semantic similarity,
while trail mode uses record-backed relationships when they are available and the map
grounds those same records in place.
FactsBusiness names, contact details, websites, and locations come from a harvested
Montgomery County business dataset.
Business categoriesClusters are approximate semantic neighborhoods, not official business
categories.
Thread truthWhy-this-next-stop explanations come from record-backed relationships when
loaded; cloud geometry alone is only an approximate visual guide.
Record signalsBadges show whether a record has contact fields, a map point, or other useful
signals.
This is an exploratory portrait of the county, not an official directory.
Semantic NeighborhoodsBrowse county activity groups when you want the taxonomy view, not the guided trail
view.
These are the county's strongest semantic neighborhoods: little pockets of shared language,
trade, civic role, and business texture.
Approximate county activity groups derived from embeddings, taxonomy, and record
descriptors; not official industry categories.
