Across disciplines the same word can have entirely different meanings and this miscommunication is only one aspect of team building that can go awry.

They interject, “I’ve done something similar to this before,” and go on to describe a field or skill you didn’t know they were familiar with. You’ve just uncovered some **dark assets** about your friend: a set of skills or knowledge that were only discovered due to an accidental trigger.

You know who wasn’t surprised? Climate scientists. ([Read about the difference a half-a-degree can make](https://www.sciencenews.org/article/global-warming-limit-degrees-ipcc-climate-change).)

Visualizing the resources available is an effective first step in overcoming some of those organizational forces. Simply being able to see, and show, what you have allows you to make a compelling case for marshaling resources and even spark some initial interactions in that direction.

We built a proof-of-concept leveraging multiple APIs, Cray’s Urika-GX and [Graph Engine (CGE)](https://www.cray.com/products/analytics/cray-graph-engine), and a handful of programming languages in less than a week.
