Its an ISK faucet, it makes ISK from nowhere, thats not saying its profitable.
Buying and sellin items dosent make isk (taxes actually take a little isk out) but other than that isk is just changing hands. Insurance actually CREATES isk.
Aye, I get confused by the level of abstraction here.
With only isk in and out from the Eve-universe as a scope I find it strange to see blueprints as a sink. (manufactoring and invention yes, but the BPO/BPC itself?).

Hint: who do you buy BPOs from?
That would add trade to the chart, with a bunch of new sinks, wouldnt it? And it wont apply to T2. |

on the tech II BPO's, any research done is a sink, either through pos fuel to research from lab or install in npc slot. BPC's are a sink in invention as the invention process makes things go away with no guarantee of getting anything back.
Yes, and resarch, POS, and invention are allready in the chart as sinks.

only invention is placed on the tech II side. Which I would say is a good enough reason for the bpo itself to be red.
POSes are placed at the component production side, not the tech II blueprint.
yes, what is missing is a connection from the research sink to the T2 blueprint item. Or T2 Blueprint should maybe be called T2 BPO researh instead.

Trying to figure out what made me confused in the first place, I had to create a chart with fewer levels.
What got me confused was the level of details about items, when items didnt have any impact or value in the original chart.
To the OP, perhaps you could make it show both the flow of minerals/items and of isk in the same chart. Moving minerals from left to right and isk from top to bottom etc.
