And how do they verify those of the subset they are in communication with? Ask their managers? But then how do their managers verify?

  > Ask their managers? But then how do their managers verify? It's a hierarchical org chart. If you're really not sure ask Sundar. It's likely any Googler can verify the identity of any other by looking up their username but it's unlikely that the same tool would do something like tell you how the YouTube recommendation algorithm works or who would know that. They will know the names of frequent collaborators and something about the scope of relevant work but it's not like everyone at Google needs intimate knowledge of every workstream. At that scale it's unlikely anyone has the full picture.

    Okay so we agree Google has a full org chart then somewhere.

      We agree an org chart of some kind probably exists. We disagree on the capabilities. For example I am not confident that it has a concept of a team and if it does that a team would map to a product or feature.

        You seem confused, I never claimed it would have such attached concepts? just a name and superior/subordinate relations
