Reverse: given a company, map its academic footprint and trace the citation graph to uncover unlisted competitors. 通过学术论文引用网络发现隐性竞品。 正向：给定论文/教授，追踪引用线索（反向至已有成果、正向至衍生研究）找到可能已产业化的同类研究者。 反向：给定公司，绘制其学术足迹并从引用网络挖掘未被媒体覆盖的竞品。Use when researching deep-tech startups, university spin-offs, professor-founded companies, or technology commercialization in hardware
