Netherlands Scientific Intelligence

An open regional-intelligence foundation for Dutch capability, market, and science-investment analysis.

Year: 2026 Open research Scientific intelligence Evidence infrastructure Apache-2.0

Product thesis

A country platform should not be created by translating another market's conclusions. Netherlands Scientific Intelligence tests a stricter replication model: software contracts and governance patterns can be reused, but evidence, definitions, geographic units, and claims must be rebuilt for the Dutch context.

The work began as an interactive implementation. Its reusable core is now being published as an open research asset so that researchers, regional teams, and data engineers can inspect the method, challenge assumptions, and extend the evidence base.

What is open now

The public repository contains the Hadox-authored reference implementation rather than a copy of the retired deployment. It includes shared framework and module contracts, Dutch evidence plans, source and privacy audit workflows, reproducible enrichment utilities, technical notes, and the concept note generated from the maintained project source.

This is a contribution-ready foundation, not a maintained turnkey SaaS product. It exposes the analytical structure needed to build responsibly while the operational platform is redesigned with stronger security and publication boundaries.

Replication architecture

  • Shared contracts: report, source-ledger, module, and quality interfaces provide a stable product grammar across countries.
  • Country evidence: Dutch definitions, province boundaries, source availability, and legal constraints are treated as first-class inputs.
  • Private enrichment: candidate queues keep exploratory company and institution signals away from public claims until they are reviewed.
  • Public-safe outputs: manifests, quality checks, and editorial gates make the path from raw source to publishable brief inspectable.

This separation prevents a reusable platform from becoming a machine for copying unsupported conclusions between jurisdictions.

Netherlands implementation

The implementation explored province and regional capability briefs using CBS and PDOK source plans alongside market, science, company, and institutional signals. It developed workflows for candidate enrichment, product-roadmap evidence, generated regional packages, source manifests, and pre-publication privacy and quality checks.

A future maintained service can support market-entry research, partnership discovery, science-investment screening, and client-specific evidence packages while retaining human approval and reproducible transformations.

Deliberate boundaries

The open release excludes raw personal or client data, credentials, private databases, unresolved company-enrichment records, confidential deliverables, operational archives, and third-party premium interface assets. These exclusions protect people and clients while keeping the reusable method open.

The original full deployment remains archived privately for recovery and provenance. The public repository starts from clean history and contains only material suitable for open distribution.

How to contribute

High-value contributions include maintained CBS or PDOK adapters, tests for geographic and source provenance, transparent indicator definitions, public-safe fixtures, accessibility improvements, and stronger documentation of uncertainty. Proposed work can begin as a GitHub issue and move through a reviewed pull request.
