People who have introduced you to several others have more visible relationship lines, making your connectors easier to recognise. The contacts list has an Introduced by column that shows the same thing as a list.
Kinnetly / Personal relationship graph
A relationship graph for your personal network.
A relationship graph for your personal network shows the people you know as points and your real relationships as the lines between them. Kinnetly draws that graph from what you record, so you can see who connects you, which circles overlap and how everyone fits together.
What is a personal relationship graph?
A personal relationship graph is a picture of one person's network: people, companies, events and groups as nodes, and the relationships between them as links. It is not a social network or a sales database. It is your own record of how you know everyone, drawn so you can read it at a glance.
What it shows
What a relationship graph for your personal network shows
Clusters and circles
People from the same company, event or group tend to gather together, so the shape of your network shows its circles: a former employer, an alumni group, the conference where you met half your investors.
Where circles overlap
A person linked to two groups tends to sit between them. Those are often the people who can bring two parts of your life together.
Thin spots
Parts of the graph with few links show where your network is thin. For relationships that have gone quiet, the dormant view lists the people you have not contacted for a while.

How the personal relationship graph works in Kinnetly
The entire graph, on desktop or phone
Open the entire graph to see your whole network at once as a live, force-directed map. Drag nodes, pinch or scroll to zoom, and tap any node to zoom to it and its connections.
Colour by kind
People, companies, events and groups each have their own colour, so you can tell a cluster of colleagues from a cluster of event contacts without reading every label.
Highlight and depth
Type a name to highlight it, select a node, and set how many steps out its connections light up: one, two, three or all. One step shows direct ties; three shows a person's wider circle.
Built from what you record
Every line on the graph comes from what you record: an introduction, an employer, an event or a group. Nothing is inferred from your inbox, calendar or social accounts. Relationship mapping →
Follow a chain between two people
Open anyone and pick a second person, and Kinnetly shows the shortest chain of relationships between them, step by step. Introduction tracking →
Not to be confused with
Other kinds of relationship graph
"Relationship graph" means different things in different fields. This page is about the people you know.
Graph theory and data modelling
In maths and computer science, a relationship graph is any set of nodes and edges, and graph databases store data that way. Kinnetly uses the same idea, but you never need to think about it.
Social graphs
A social network's graph is built from public connections and shared with the platform. A personal relationship graph is private, and it records how you actually know someone.
Sales relationship maps
Sales tools chart the people inside a target account for a team. A personal relationship graph covers your own network, for you alone.

Boundaries
What the personal relationship graph does not do
The graph shows what you recorded. It does not judge it.
No relationship scores
Kinnetly does not calculate influence, rank people or score how strong a relationship is. You can mark each contact Know, Like or Trust yourself.
No inferred links
Kinnetly does not guess who knows whom from your email, calendar or social networks.
No strangers
The graph contains only the people, companies, events, groups and relationships you add. It does not suggest people you do not know.
Private
Your graph is visible only to your account, and nobody on it is notified.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a relationship graph for your personal network?
It is a picture of your own network, with people, companies, events and groups as nodes and your real relationships as the lines between them. It shows how everyone you know is connected.
How is a relationship graph different from a relationship map?
They describe the same thing from two angles. In Kinnetly, the map is the focused, step-by-step view, and the entire graph shows the whole network at once.
Can I see my whole network as a graph?
Yes. The entire graph shows every node at once, on desktop and on your phone, coloured by kind.
Does Kinnetly analyse my graph?
No. It draws the links you record and finds the shortest chain between two people when you ask. It does not score people or relationships.
Do I need to know graph theory?
No. You add people and link them, and Kinnetly draws the graph for you.
