Yet conventional descriptors cannot directly resolve water-ringconnectivity, face adjacency, or cage closure. Here, we develop theGraph-guided Ring Overlap Workflow (GROW) algorithm and its open-sourceimplementation, Shell Quant Qualifier (SQQ), to connect molecularcoordinates with cage and phase topology. SQQ constructs hydrogen-bondor oxygen–oxygen water graphs, identifies chordless rings asfaces, and reconstructs cages by expanding connected face sets alongexposed edges. Since GROW tests branches without predefining the finalface arrangement, it can distinguish standard cages, uncommon cagecompositions, and isomers that share the same face counts. SQQ mapscage occupancy, face-sharing clusters, hydrate domains, and phaseboundaries while preserving the molecular identities behind each result.Tests on standard, perturbed, and periodically translated sI, sII,and sH crystals recover the expected network edges, cage types, andcage–water assignments. Comparisons on a hydrate-growth trajectoryshow close population agreement with GRADE and TRACE when graph definitionsand ring ranges are aligned, while examples explain differences causedby recognition rules.

The molecular charge density is perturbed by external point charges available in any QM/MM-capable code, whether real-space-grid, plane-wave, or atom-centered, and the dipole-dipole, dipole-quadrupole, and quadrupole-quadrupole tensors are recovered from finite differences of the perturbed multipole moments extrapolated to the zero-perturbation limit.

Furthermore, the finite-difference values agree with analytic coupled-perturbed Hartree-Fock results to within 4%, at comparable cost for medium-sized systems and more favorable scaling for larger ones.
