        "text": "You can technically ingest everything, but you shouldn’t. Overloading the graph with low‑quality or marginally relevant data makes modeling harder, slows queries, and complicates governance. Prioritization is essential.\n\nThe right question is “What data is needed to answer our top use cases?” not “What data do we have?”\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Relevance of each source to your initial use cases\n- Data quality and readiness (structure, cleanliness, update cadence)\n- Cost of integration vs expected value\n- Sensitivity and compliance constraints for each dataset\n\nPractically, rank sources by business impact and feasibility, then bring them into the graph in phases, validating each addition with real queries.\n\nThis keeps your graph lean, fast, and focused instead of becoming a dumping ground.",
