The CRM problem
Every founder has the same problem. Henrik passed on the seed round at Lode six months ago. He's now actively in target stage at SIMON. A per-vessel CRM can't tell you that. A spreadsheet can't tell you that. A founder running three vessels keeps it in their head and forgets.
The graph IS the CRM
Lode's P2 layer holds every relationship as a row in entity_relationships:
person × vessel × scope × status × role × history. One person can have many
relationships across many vessels. When status flips to passed on Lode
and target on SIMON, the re-engagement layer sees the cross-vessel
signal and surfaces it on your morning queue.
You don't manage users. You manage relationships. Access follows.
Network routing as a feature
Same person, three vessels: warmest path to a target investor is via the network. Henrik knows Anna who knows the partner at Atomico. Lode walks the graph. Phase 5 ships the queries; Phase 6 ships the suggestions.
