3/n: And, using Social Network Analysis across nine years of data, we: a. Extend earlier approaches to drug flow mapping b. Show how combining sources reduces blind spots in trafficking networks c. Highlight distortions caused by enforcement/reporting biases.

4/n: Our key argument: no single dataset can capture the complexity of illicit flows. Integrating multiple sources offers a more reliable way to understand how drugs move globally, and how interventions can be better targeted.
