About this page
What this is
94 companies and labs, people, government bodies and projects that appear in 3 or more records. Pick a name to see its records, newest first, with the axes it appears on most and the names it appears with. 36 of them also have a profile of the real organisation or person — country, founding, what they do, main products or research — checked against official pages and news reports. A person's page covers only their public work.
How to use it
Students: pick a company or lab and compare its first and latest records — what changed? Teachers: give each group one name to turn into a timeline presentation; comparing the “often appears with” boxes of two names shows how partnerships and rivalries appear in the records. Point out, too, that the number is just how many records on this site mention the name — not a measure of importance or a ranking.
Where it comes from
Names in each record's actor field are split at middle dots (·) and commas, and different spellings of the same organisation are counted as one. So a record that names several actors counts for each of them. The list and the numbers change every Monday morning when new records go in. Profiles are written by AI (Claude) from their sources; the source list is under each profile.
