How concentrated a hosting market really is — HHI and structure per market
and layer, for a competition or market-entry question. Named provider shares are market_structure's
job; this tool answers how tight the market is, not who is in it.
Arguments: market = 'global', 'europe', or a European market TLD ('dk'); empty = all rows.
actor_scope selects which actor base leads the control-plane rows. chart=true returns a branded SVG.
Population: the active-domains book, at two layers — control_plane (ownership-folded
customer relationships) and hosting (visible serving network, CDN-masked origins excluded). A named
market's control-plane row serves BOTH actor
bases side by side — market_power (hosting competitors only, the default headline) and
control_plane_ecosystem (infrastructure providers counted alongside) — each with the book it is
measured on. Returns HHI with its conventional bands, effective_n, top1 and top3.
Band and actor-base definitions: definitions(section='concentration').
