A thin opportunity count is a fact about the radar's coverage of the region, not about its market: the radar is fed by European job boards first. Opportunities →
Day rates — what is measured, what is not
Measured cells
- North America (US/CA) — Canada, United States
Countries with no measured band
—
Cells come from rate-bands.json (editorial band model, provenance per cell). Countries listed as unmeasured carry NO band: the platform refuses to transpose a neighbouring band onto them. Day rates →
Bridge groups — families already present here and elsewhere
Brand families holding entities both in this region and in at least one other. For a practice inside one of them the border is an internal process, not a market entry; for the others they are the incumbents to price against. Evidence: a curated parent key or a shared domain brand.

Public directory firms headquartered in the region with no sister entity abroad, ranked by data completeness. The full ranked list per country, kind and SAP module is the Legend MCP tool find_partner_candidates; the one-call brief with buyers by industry and bridge groups from your own region is get_expansion_brief.
Entry routes — what the studies already cover
The Global Mobility study maps the intra-group transfer topology and the legal routes into Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States; the Regulatory Impact study carries the EMEA jurisdiction map; the Freelancer Rates study holds the 12-region rate table and its method for unpriced markets. Together they are the regulatory and pricing half of an expansion dossier. Studies →

Method
All figures are counts over the platform's published spines (firm directory, SAP end-customer coverage by country, live opportunity radar, professional directory, rate cells) as of the build date; nothing is extrapolated. Region = the platform's six-value geography (EMEA holds Europe and the Middle East; Africa is its own region). Group identity comes from the firm-group presence projection.
