What are context graphs used for?

They map entities, events, decisions to explain 'why' behind data outcomes, like failures or inefficiencies.

How do you build a context graph in Python?

Use NetworkX for nodes (entities) and edges (relationships), start simple like customer-order-product, visualize with spring layout.

Do context graphs replace traditional logging?

No — they build on logs, adding relationships for deeper 'why' insights, but need constant maintenance.
