Interesting! There is a lot going on that isn't seen by the classical hierarchical structure. This is a great way to capture this. I have been talking about doing a PageRank of sorts at work. To me, the interaction structure is a graph: credit can go both ways and between coworkers of the same unit. It could help a lot of the silent workers you only hear about when things go wrong. Nothing concrete so far, but the thought experiment yielded some interest from colleagues. I wish it, or OP's back-propagation, could be implemented and tested.
