How to Read a Dive Deeper Mind Map
When a story is a web of related themes without one dominant chain, Dive Deeper generates a mind map instead of a knowledge graph.

A fallback for stories without a clear network
The mind map is used specifically when a story does not have enough distinct, well-connected entities to justify a full knowledge graph — instead, it organizes the material as a central topic with branching themes.
Center, branches, and sub-points
A central concept sits in the middle, connected to several major branches, each of which can further break down into smaller sub-points — a hierarchy rather than a tangled network of many-to-many connections.
Good for exploratory topics
This format tends to suit broader explainer-style stories — a topic with several related angles rather than a single chain of events or a dense web of named entities.
Never shown alongside a knowledge graph
A report generates either a knowledge graph or a mind map for its network-style view, never both — the two cover overlapping ground, so only whichever fits the story's data better is chosen.
Key takeaways
- ✓The mind map is used when a story lacks the dense entity network needed for a full knowledge graph.
- ✓It organizes material as a central topic with branches and sub-points, rather than a many-to-many network.
- ✓A report shows either a knowledge graph or a mind map, never both.
Frequently asked questions
Is the mind map less accurate than a knowledge graph?
No — it is simply a better fit for stories organized around themes rather than a dense web of named entities. Both are generated the same deterministic way from the same underlying facts.

Why Some Dive Deeper Reports Have No Visualizations
A text-only report is not a failure — it means the underlying facts genuinely did not support a chart, timeline, or map. Here is why that is by design.
