KFNDepositi KVK (NL)

Filing punctuality + completeness at the Dutch KVK Handelsregister for {legal_name}. Elke Nederlandse vennootschap (BV/NV) is ingeschreven bij de Kamer van Koophandel en deponeert haar jaarrekening → returning absent:not_disclosed is essentially impossible for any company actually incorporated in the Netherlands. EXTRACTION RULES — MANDATORY: (1) search kvk.nl (Handelsregister) using the company's legal name OR KVK-nummer — the result returns inschrijving date, geplaatst kapitaal, and the last jaarrekening deponering date. (2) cross-check company.info / aggregators for deponering status. (3) search the company's own "Investor Relations"/"Corporate Governance" page for deposited accounts. Return composite_signal with sub-signals (each 0-100 + source_url): (a) filing_punctuality — how close the last jaarrekening deponering is to the statutory deadline (deponering entro 12 mesi from boekjaar end, max 8 dagen after vaststelling = 60-100; late = 30-60); (b) filing_completeness — richness of the deposited accounts (geconsolideerde + enkelvoudige jaarrekening + toelichting + bestuursverslag + accountantsverklaring = 90+, micro/klein only = 50); (c) registry_status_active — entity active/ingeschreven (active=90, ontbonden/failliet=20). Return type="absent" reason="no_company_specific_data" ONLY if the entity is verifiably NOT incorporated in the Netherlands. SUB-SIGNAL OBSERVABILITY (anti-fabrication, MANDATORY): registry EXISTENCE/status is almost always verifiable, but the deposited-accounts CONTENT (filing_punctuality / filing_completeness) is frequently paywalled, fee-gated, or simply not deposited for small/private companies. If you cannot OBSERVE the actual deposit dates or document richness from a CITED source, return that sub-signal as null — do NOT estimate or guess a band from the company's size, sector or country, and do NOT treat a paywalled/undisclosed content sub-signal as "low". registry_status_active must be scored ONLY from a POSITIVE registry hit you cite (the status field visible); if you cannot locate the entity in the national registry at all (ambiguous/non-English legal name, homonym, no hit), do NOT default it to active — return it null. Not-found is NOT active. If NO sub-signal could be observed from any cited source, return type="absent" reason="no_company_specific_data" (a genuine content-absence then resolves to a clean not_applicable, never a fabricated composite).
