Read me: Student counts come from DUO and are reported per registered programme (CROHO) — DUO does not split a programme by language. For dedicated programmes the total ≈ the English cohort. For shared programmes an English track sits inside a larger (often partly Dutch) programme, so the total overstates the English-studying population. Use the English type filter to segment. Exact per-language headcounts require the Studiekeuze123/SKDB feed (see README).

Contribution = customers × (revenue − variable cost) − markets × fixed cost. A "market" = one programme entered. This is a first-order model — extend per-programme cost/price in data/processed and the engine here as you firm up the unit economics. Assumptions persist locally in your browser.

Data sources & methodology

Every number here traces to three official sources, joined on institution code (BRIN) + programme code (CROHO/ISAT). Full write-up and refresh steps live in Notion; raw files and the match audit trail are in the repo.

⚠️ Key caveat — language splitting

DUO reports enrollment per programme (CROHO), not per language. Each English programme is tagged:

dedicated the registered programme is the English one → total ≈ English cohort. Reliable. (143 of the >300 set)

shared an English track sits inside a broader, often partly-Dutch programme → the total overstates the English-studying population. Treat as an upper bound. (48 of the >300 set)

Exact per-language headcounts require Source 5 (SKDB). Matching: hand-verified institution→BRIN map + fuzzy name match (323 confident), residual ~60 marketing-name/track cases resolved by LLM against CROHO candidates — all auditable in _match_report.json.
