Research Engine — How IT Live Collects Real Facts for Your Plans

<h2>No Fabricated Data</h2><p>Many AI tools make up numbers. We don't. Before we let AI write anything, we first gather <strong>real facts</strong> from validated sources.</p><h3>4 Sources We Use</h3><h4>1. CBS Statline 70072NED — Regional Key Figures</h4><p>Per municipality, we retrieve: number of inhabitants, gender distribution, age distribution (5 buckets), number of households, average size, education level (HBO/WO percentage), migration mobility, WOZ value, purchase/rent ratio, housing density. Updated annually.</p><h4>2. Wikipedia NL</h4><p>Description of your municipality (geography, history, economy) + sector encyclopedia (Contractor, Hair Salon, Mover, etc).</p><h4>3. DuckDuckGo HTML Scrape</h4><p>Top-10 results for "{industry} {location}". Real competitors with domain. No API key needed (Google blocks scrapes, DuckDuckGo doesn't).</p><h4>4. CBS 81588NED — Construction Industry Statistics (sector-specific)</h4><p>For construction clients: number of companies in the Netherlands, revenue trend, margins. For other sectors, equivalent datasets.</p><h3>How is this Used?</h3><p>The <code>research-data.json</code> file is prepended to every AI prompt with the instruction:</p><blockquote>"REAL DATA FROM REAL SOURCES — use THESE numbers and facts, don't make anything up. When speculating: mark as (estimated)."</blockquote><h3>Example Output</h3><p>SWOT analysis for Renovast Bouwservice in Vught literally included: <em>"migration mobility (88.6 per 1000 inhabitants)", "45.4% HBO/WO educated", "WOZ value €524,000", "33,200 inhabitants"</em> + competitors Balemans, Beek Bouwmeesters, Van der Doelen — all verified via CBS + DDG.</p>
