I agree with addressing the "too big to fail" pain point, and I think a conceptual map to help with that ought to include:

* industry players & interactions

* political donations

* relationships between corporate executives, K street (lobbyists), congress critters, legislative staffers, interns

* relationships between regulatory agency executives, K street, congress critters, legislative staffers, interns

* former (and potential) primary candidates in the congress critters' districts

* a scatterplot of how a given congress critter voted on various related issues, as well as which of their votes (related or not) are out of sync with the voters in their district

Now that's a useful tool right there. Probably a pipe dream ... ah well.
