Where the economics literature still looks structurally incomplete.
FrontierGraph turns the economics literature graph into ranked research opportunities. AI is used only to extract graph structure from text. The ranking itself is deterministic, inspectable, and designed for busy academics who want a credible shortlist fast.
inflation -> human capital
inflation -> human capital has 225 mediators and 225 supporting motifs, while direct contact remains at 27 prior co-occurrences. In the current graph it looks like a cross-field gap.
Six ways into the graph
The public site is not just a landing page. It is a static discovery layer that lets researchers enter from field pages, discovery modes, methods, and downloads before they ever touch the app.

Legible before broad
AI stops at extraction
FrontierGraph uses AI to convert text into graph structure. The ranking itself is deterministic.
Evidence stays inspectable
Each idea can be unpacked into mediators, paths, supporting papers, and local graph context.
Built for real use
The goal is not a black-box answer. The goal is a structured first pass on where the field might be leaving room.
Start from your own part of economics
Code, demo data, and the full beta database package are part of the product.
FrontierGraph is not meant to hide the machinery. The public release includes the repo, the demo data, and a versioned beta database package with checksums and provenance.
