Cross-reference network, citation influence metrics, and BCP dependency analysis across {{ influence.stats.drafts_with_refs }} drafts and {{ influence.stats.total_citations }} total citations.
Drafts RFCs — Node size = influence. Drag to rearrange. Scroll to zoom.
RFCs cited by the most drafts in the corpus
| # | RFC | Cited By |
|---|
Foundational standards the AI/agent ecosystem builds upon
| # | RFC | Name | Cited By |
|---|---|---|---|
| {{ loop.index }} | RFC {{ rfc.rfc_id }} | {{ rfc.name }} | {{ rfc.count }} drafts |
Drafts with the highest outgoing reference count
| # | Draft | Category | Refs |
|---|---|---|---|
| {{ loop.index }} | {{ d.title[:60] }}{% if d.title|length > 60 %}...{% endif %} | {{ d.category }} | {{ d.count }} |
Drafts ranked by weighted sum of how often their cited RFCs are themselves cited — higher score means citing more foundational standards
| # | Draft | Category | Out-Degree | Influence Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| {{ loop.index }} | {{ d.title[:60] }}{% if d.title|length > 60 %}...{% endif %} | {{ d.category }} | {{ d.out_degree }} | {{ d.score }} |
Which categories reference the most external standards
{{ influence.draft_network|length }} cross-citations between drafts in the corpus
{{ bcp.coverage.unique_bcps }} unique BCPs cited across the corpus
| # | BCP | Cited By | Example Drafts |
|---|---|---|---|

Which categories rely most heavily on BCPs
| Category | BCP Refs | Unique BCPs | Top BCPs |
|---|---|---|---|
| {{ cat.category }} | {{ cat.total_bcp_refs }} | {{ cat.unique_bcps }} | {% for tb in cat.top_bcps[:3] %} BCP{{ tb.bcp_id }}({{ tb.count }}) {% endfor %} |
How often pairs of BCPs are cited together in the same draft. Darker = more co-citations.
