Abstract
With the KATRIN experiment, the determination of the absolute neutrino mass scale down to cosmologically favored values has come into reach. We show that this measurement provides the missing link between the Standard Model and the dark sector in scotogenic models, where the suppression of the neutrino masses is economically explained by their only indirect coupling to the Higgs field. We determine the linear relation between the electron neutrino mass and the scalar coupling $\lambda_5$ associated with the dark neutral scalar mass splitting to be $\lambda_5=3.1\times10^{-9}\ m_{\nu_e}/$eV.
