Shows a concrete pipeline: model a Paradise Papers graph in Neo4j, implement a Django + neomodel API that issues Cypher or uses neomodel QuerySet and Q filters, and visualize results. Demonstrates specific queries like shortest_path Cypher with max length 10, compares API vs raw Cypher, and notes a practical limitation: neomodel returns only endpoints and path length rather than every node on a path. Claims performance and lower hardware needs for graph traversal with Neo4j.
