The potential for discovery is not equal across all contacts, but rather varies by the extent to which you and each contact have ties to different people. These non-redundant ties are key to identifying bridges in networks and, therefore, the potential for discovery. The table below shows for each of your contacts the number of people to whom neither you nor your other contacts are directly or indirectly connected (1) overall and (2) in the REFERENCE GROUP NETWORK (P. 10).
