Not every connection is an answer.
Some show you where to look next.

Follow the second connection.

A supplier has suppliers. A decision has a history. Look beyond the first relationship to understand the system around a business.

Leave space for uncertainty.

Separate what a source says from what you infer. Keep the missing evidence visible, and the next question open.
