Equivalents Network
What the cloud actually looks like as a graph. Every node is a service; every edge is a cross-provider equivalent we've hand- curated. Hub-and-spoke patterns emerge — the obvious ones (compute, object storage) light up first when you filter by category. Drop the filter and the whole graph settles into recognisable clusters: hyperscaler triangles in the centre, regional and specialist providers as satellites.

Reading the graph
- Node colour = provider's brand colour. Hyperscalers cluster in the centre because they have the most equivalents declared.
- Node size = log-scaled by peer count. A service with 30 cross-provider equivalents (e.g. aws-ec2, azure-virtual-machines) shows visibly larger than a niche service with 1-2.
- Edge = a hand-declared "this service maps to that one across the provider boundary". Every edge has been added by a human (the audit suite ensures the graph is symmetric).
- Filter by category to see the structure within compute, database, networking, etc. — usually the cleanest views.
