Network Health

See where you rely on a few people to reach others, where O needs to know more, and which relationship to strengthen next.

Network Health gives you four separate measures of your network, plus one suggestion for where to focus. It’s a place to start thinking, not a grade for you or a score for anyone.

When you would use it

Use it after a large import, or before a week of meetings. It helps you see whether you reach too much of your network through just one or two people, whether O knows enough about your connections to help you, and which relationship is worth an hour this week.

Where to find it

Select Insights in the sidebar, then the Network Health tab.

#	Element	What it does
1	Relationship goals	How many direct connections O counts, and whether you have set a personal goal. Edit relationship goals opens Settings → Goals.
2	Updated and Refresh	When O last worked out the numbers on this page. Refresh works them out again, for example after an import.
3	Relationship to strengthen	One relationship that a large share of your measured paths run through (a path is a way to reach someone through people you know). It shows how many measured paths it connects, and across how many industry groups.
4	Measured access	What the suggestion is based on: the paths O can measure in the information you have connected.
5	Strengthen this relationship and Find another path	Strengthen this relationship opens Field Mode so you can add what you know about that person. Find another path opens Connectors for that person, so you can look for a second route.
6	Health by factor	The four measures at a glance. Each one stands on its own. O doesn’t average them into one grade.

Health by factor

Further down, each factor has its own card. Open How this is calculated (on Connection Paths it’s called What is included) to see how the number is worked out and what information it uses.

#	Element	What it does
1	Network Reach	Your progress towards a personal connection goal.
2	Context Coverage	How much useful background O has on your connections for introductions, reminders and recommendations.
3	Connection Paths	The paths O can see beyond your direct network. A list of what O can see, not a score.
4	Network Breadth	How varied your network is across industries, countries and seniority levels.
5	Status	A word that says where the factor stands, such as Strong, Partial view or Goal required.
6	How this is calculated	How the number is worked out and what information it uses. Close it with ×.
7	Action	The next step for that factor: Set a personal target, Review recent connections, Reveal more paths or Review network strengths.

What each factor measures

Factor	How O works it out	What it uses
Network Reach	Compares your direct connections with your personal target. Until you set a target, the card says Goal required.	Your confirmed direct connections, and the network sizes of people in similar roles
Context Coverage	For each direct connection, checks for eight useful details about their profile and your relationship. It then shows the percentage of those details O has.	Connected profiles and your linked notes
Connection Paths	Lists your active O friends, Observed mutual links (people you and a contact both know, as O has seen them), the 2nd-degree people and 3rd-degree people O has stored (friends of friends, and one step further out), and Inferred hidden bridges (links O has worked out rather than seen). These groups may overlap, and O never combines them into a percentage.	Your O friendships, the network you have selected, and signs of hidden bridges
Network Breadth	Gives Industry breadth, Country breadth and Seniority breadth a higher score the more widely your connections are spread, then averages the three. Known industries counts the industries O has seen.	Each person’s current industry, country and seniority

Yours vs ICP peer avg. on Network Reach compares the size of your network with the average for people in roles like yours. It appears next to the score and never changes it.

People with context notes on Context Coverage counts the people you have written notes about. The eight details also include profile information, so the two numbers can differ.

Next moves and how your network is changing

#	Element	What it does
1	Your next best moves	Numbered, specific steps based on the people and relationships O can measure right now. Select one to open it.
2	How your network is changing	New connections by month. Dated connection coverage shows how much of your network has a date the chart can use.

Add context while it is fresh

O lists people you connected with recently and asks how you know them. Choose Add context to write it down while you still remember. It’s saved as a note on that person.

Add context while it is fresh. Other people's names and photos are blurred.

Where your network is strongest

This section shows the industries, locations, seniority levels and skills that are most common in your network. Each tile shows the most common one, and its share of the connections where O knows that detail. Below it, Key connectors to nurture lists people that many of your measured paths run through. Key connectors opens the full list in Connectors.

Where your network is strongest

How to

1. Set a personal reach target

   Choose Edit relationship goals, or Set a personal target on the Network Reach card. In Settings → Goals, enter your target. Network Reach then shows your progress towards it.

2. Give O more context

   Choose Review recent connections on Context Coverage, or go to Add context while it is fresh. Choose Add context next to a person and write how you know them. Notes are one of the details Context Coverage checks.

3. Reveal more paths

   On Connection Paths, choose Reveal more paths. If you have the O browser extension, open a LinkedIn profile and use Warm Path. It adds to O the connections it sees there: people you both know, and second-degree and third-degree connections.

4. Act on a suggestion

   Under Relationship to strengthen or Your next best moves, open a suggestion. You decide whether to reach out. O never contacts anyone for you.

5. Refresh after a change

   After an import, or after you connect a new account, choose Refresh so the measures use the new information.

What O does behind it

• The four measures are separate. Each score stands on its own, and O doesn’t combine them into one number.
• Missing information is shown as unavailable, not counted as zero. A zero means O checked a source it could use and found none. A dash means that source wasn’t available.
• Connection Paths lists what O can see. Its groups may overlap, and they are never added up into a total.
• O only measures the information you have connected or imported. You can also read how it’s worked out on the page itself, under Data coverage and methodology.

Good to know. A missing result may mean there isn’t enough information. It doesn’t mean a relationship doesn’t exist, and nothing on this page scores a person.
