A horizontal three-band visualisation of enterprise innovation flow, with R&D, middle management, and business unit layers stacked. The middle band is rendered as a network of teal-coloured nodes connected by visible bridges that span between the upper and lower bands. Some bridges are solid lines, others fading to grey to indicate broken or thinned connections. Annotations identify three node types: Connector, Translator, Buffer. The composition emphasises that the middle layer is structurally a network of bridges, not a hierarchy of supervisors.
