Hello Greg, let me "unpack", sorry for the abusive naming of the query. What is used is what we called in the early days of the 100 Circles project, the "magic query", which yields the distribution of circles population. This query is based on the Connection Finder data. It was intended to be used (sparingly, because it's heavy on the server - that's why it's not public) to get the data you can see in the 100 Circles and related pages.
But it works as well for unconnected branches, and that's what I used, e.g. for the largest branch Salsavilca-10

{"size":5278,"generations":14}
For each line you get : distance, number of profiles, cumulated number, number of connections traversed
And the summary : 5278 profiles in 14 generations.
The results include all profiles, whatever privacy level, like CC7 does.
