Synthetic working data

Explore the starter data

We used AI-assisted research to investigate the published sources, then created 16 non-sensitive synthetic records shaped by what those sources expose. It is starter data for exploration—not real service data or evidence.

Read the note on this dataset

Sixteen non-sensitive sample rows follow the steps in published bereavement guidance. Timings and completion bands are invented because no source publishes them.

Every record in the file

Inspect, compare, understand

Use 16 synthetic journey steps to explore where delays or drop-off might occur after a bereavement. Switch views without losing the description, source file, or limitations on this page.

Synthetic working data

AI-assisted research helped identify and interpret the published sources. We then created a small, non-sensitive synthetic dataset shaped by the information those sources expose. It is for exploration—not evidence, training, or operational decisions.

Method note

How it was prepared

AI authored fictional timings and completion bands around the sequence described in published nidirect guidance.

Conditions for use

What this dataset cannot tell you

  • The days and drop-off bands are invented because no published source measures either figure.
  • A tidy sequence cannot represent grief, disputed authority, complicated estates, or accessibility needs.
  • A named step does not establish that anyone has authority to complete it.
  • It is invented. No record describes a real person, place, case, or measurement, and no result computed from it is evidence that anything works in a live service.
