Where it comes from

Input Field Condition Reaches the row by
SSPL/sspl-2026-2/SingleRecord.csv (pinned, SHA256 a6b23a9abfbd…) PostcodeType the row itself

Scope: the row itself.

What was done to it: copied. Copied as text from the NRS Scottish Statistics Postcode Lookup, unchanged. (code: simd_ingest/core/sspl.py: build_latest_index)

How it is checked (what each check tests; whether a build passed it is in that build's manifest.json["checks"])

  • sspl.schema: the SSPL file's header is exactly the reviewed header, in order
  • readback.main.index_columns: the saved file's NRS columns equal the source, re-read

Why: sspl-main-table, sspl-allocation-is-part-of-the-contract, two-nrs-cuts
