get_market_coverage
THE cross-market question, answered in one call: every market where this manufacturer IS registered and every market where they are NOT. Returns per-market registration and active-registration counts and the source registries, plus the markets absent from their footprint — which is the gap a market-access team is usually looking for ("registered in Indonesia and Thailand, missing in the Philippines"). Prefer this over get_registrations when the question is about market presence rather than individual products. A marketAccess block may also appear. It is NOT a registration and is excluded from marketCount and every count in this response: it reports market access held on another basis — currently PMDA foreign manufacturer accreditation, which licenses a manufacturing SITE to make devices for Japan, precedes product approval and outlives individual products. When it is present alongside Japan in absent, both are true and the distinction matters: the company can supply the market but has no Japanese product approval visible to us. Do not describe that as being registered in Japan, and do not add it to a market count. A notJudged block lists markets that register only decree-listed categories (Chile): a company with no rows there is NOT missing there — most devices need no registration — so never report it as a gap.
