Entity & Relationship Analysis

Relationship Graph

A relationship graph is a visual map of the entities in an investigation — people, organizations, domains, accounts, wallets and other identifiers — shown as nodes, with the evidenced connections between them shown as edges. A relationship graph makes patterns visible that a table hides: shared infrastructure, common officers, recurring contact details or overlapping usernames. Its value depends on discipline: each edge should trace back to an evidence record, and similarity alone is not proof of association. In Nexus, investigators add evidence from cited findings to a case graph, explore connections between people, organizations and digital identifiers, and include selected graphs in PDF case reports.
