Every index ranks named-anchor convergence node by node within its own country and supplies the underlying cluster data the continental sets are built from. *Note (2026-09-06):* these two were previously kept standalone because neither had a country market page to sit beside. That rationale no longer holds — [[atlas-mexico|Mexico]], [[atlas-sweden|Sweden]], [[atlas-denmark|Denmark]], [[atlas-finland|Finland]], and [[atlas-norway|Norway]] all have country pages now. Whether to merge these two the way the other five were merged is a separate content decision, not taken here.

Flagged for a future pass, not resolved here. **The two lists below are under reconciliation and should not be read as current.** They were drawn up against 32 of the 57 profiles and have not been rebuilt since the confirmed 2026-08-07 dataset was adopted: five entries listed as verified are no longer in that dataset, six listed as reference-only now are, and the Greek, Croatian, and Norwegian profiles added since appear in neither list. **The country tables are the authoritative view of what is published**; each profile page states its own position. The lists are kept here because the distinction they draw is a real editorial one, but the sorting is being redone. *Correction (2026-09-06):* rebuilding the country tables against the confirmed dataset showed the split below is stale on membership, not just on coverage. Of the 16 entries listed as verified TOP400, five are no longer in the confirmed set — Torrance, CA; Provo, UT; Kenner, LA; Eagan, MN; and Northampton. Six listed below as reference-only are now in it — Lethbridge, Kelowna, Barrie–Innisfil, Regina, Burgos, and Fort Collins. Re-sorting the two lists also means updating what each profile page says about itself, so it is flagged here rather than resolved in this pass. **Verified TOP400 entries:** no rank or score is published for any entry; list order is alphabetical by profile slug, not ordinal. **Verified TOP400 entries (16):** co-location cluster composition current as of the 2026-08-07 dataset.

This is a pre-existing inconsistency in the underlying data, not resolved by this edit — flagged for a future data-reconciliation pass rather than corrected unilaterally here. [[us-sc-greenville-spartanburg|Spartanburg, SC]] is a known inconsistency in the source data: it appears in the North American Top 400 table while the profile page describes Spartanburg as a metropolitan reference point rather than a ranked entry.
