Netherlands programme delivery verification pending
Canonical Dutch programme identities and verified programme records do not by themselves prove city delivery. A programme appears for a city only after an explicit verified offering-to-campus link exists.
The gap is shown as verification pending rather than “0 programmes”.
Research-university core coverage
The current verified city layer covers the research-university core. Dutch HBO providers remain an explicit expansion gap and are not silently treated as absent from the city.
