We introduce Regional Inference of Significant Kinships (RISK), a next-generation tool that overcomes these challenges by integrating community detection algorithms, rigorous overrepresentation analysis, and a modular architecture that supports diverse network types. RISK identifies biologically coherent relationships within networks and generates publication-ready visualizations, as demonstrated by its ability to resolve compact functional modules in Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein\u2013protein interaction and genetic interaction networks. Its application to a high-energy physics citation network reveals structured relationships among research subfields, highlighting its versatility beyond biological systems. As biological and interdisciplinary networks increase in size and complexity, RISK\u2019s scalability and adaptability make it a powerful solution for modern network analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>RISK is compatible with Python 3.8 or later, supports all major operating systems, and can be installed via pip.
