What the federal record tells us, and where it falls short.
Coverage is measured record by record. Missing values are never replaced with zero, inferred from a ranking, or silently borrowed from a different college or credential.

New evidence, kept in its proper lane
These sources answer questions that the core Scorecard tables cannot. DegreeVerdict does not merge unlike cohorts or use them to silently change ROI.
Reporting varies across the country
The table separates college coverage from field-and-credential outcomes. A missing program measure usually reflects federal privacy suppression or cohort eligibility, not a zero outcome.

Why gaps remain
Privacy protections suppress small cohorts. Some institutions do not participate in federal aid programs. Exact named-program prices are collected nationally only for institutions that report costs by program. DegreeVerdict preserves those limits instead of manufacturing estimates.
