Your design seems to focus far too heavily on False Sponsors (LBJ, for example, who resides at the core of the graphic representation as you render it), many of whom were elevated to such status (involuntarily) from the Facilitators level in order to protect the real Sponsors.

Actually LBJ was only in the center pentagon because IMO the Nov 22, 1963 Senate Rules Committee was hearing testimony from Bobby Baker friend Don B. Reynolds that LBJ demanded kickbacks & ads purchase on his radio station KTBC. Reynolds described "$100,000 payoff to LBJ for his role in securing Fort Worth TFX contract."
I think that dictated the timing of the assassination. If it happened any later LBJ would have gone to jail.
But that wasn't clear on the diagram. Other than that I think LBJ led the cover up along with Hoover, though he had advance knowledge of the murder making him an accessory during and after the fact.

(Another way to think of this: "The CIA" is not the sculptor, but "only" the hammer that strikes the chisels. Or: "The CIA" is not a policy maker, but rather a policy implementer. Neither Helms nor even Angleton should be seen as a Sponsor of the hit.)
To be sure, all individuals and groups noted in your model belong there. Where we differ is on the appreciation of their respective positionings within the conspiracy structure.
I think we agree on the role of the CIA. I list them (with their mafia partners) as "Tacticians." In other words I think they did the wet work. But the Military and Money men/Financers got things going, and likely prepared a contingency plan, i.e., armed forces in US streets.
My next attempt at a graphic will be clearer. I'm discarding the pentagon model.
