HESA Data Futures readiness

Assess Student-stream readiness from rehearsal evidence, triage the derived remediation queue, and produce an internal briefing. Nothing here files, validates or certifies a return with HESA.

Enterprise

Internal readiness workspace for the HESA Data Futures Student stream. Nothing here is a filed statutory return, a HESA validation outcome, a certification, or evidence of acceptance by HESA. Every figure is an internal indicator derived from DataBridge's own rehearsal and data-quality evidence, and requires data-owner review.

Fictional sample data — this rehearsal describes no real institution.

Evidence imports are append-only (a new rehearsal never replaces earlier evidence) but the store is in-memory in this phase: retention is process-lifetime. Keep the rehearsal artifact directories as your durable record.

Import rehearsal evidence

Add the rehearsal-report.json from an offline databridge rehearse run. Only genuine, unmodified rehearsal reports are accepted; imports are append-only and audited.

Run a new rehearsal

Rehearsals run offline on an operator machine via the DataBridge CLI — this page never executes one for you, never contacts HESA, and never writes to a database. The CLI refuses to overwrite an existing rehearsal directory, and importing a new report here never replaces earlier evidence.

1. Rehearse your extract offline (or use --sample for fictional data):

node apps/cli/dist/index.js rehearse --extract my-extract.json --out /tmp/hesa-rehearsal

2. (Optional) Build the internal briefing offline:

node apps/cli/dist/index.js brief --report /tmp/hesa-rehearsal/rehearsal-report.json --out /tmp/hesa-briefing

3. Import the rehearsal-report.json into this workspace (panel above).

INTERNAL READINESS INDICATOR

Component statements

One statement per evidence component — deliberately no single aggregate verdict. Readiness is an institutional judgement taken outside DataBridge.

No structural blocking issue was detected in this rehearsal.
2 un-waived ERROR findings against DataBridge's internal quality rules in this rehearsal. This is not a HESA validation outcome.
1 required catalogued field partial or unavailable in this rehearsal — requires data-owner review.
All figures describe the rehearsed extract only and require data-owner review; the rehearsal's operator review checklist is generated with every item not reviewed.

REHEARSAL OUTPUT

Field coverage by entity

Populated / partial / unavailable counts over the catalogued HESA Student fields, as seen by the selected rehearsal. Describes the rehearsed extract only — not a completeness certification.

Field coverage by entity
Entity	Records	Populated	Partial	Unavailable	Required gaps
Student	54	3/4	1	0	0
Engagement	54	2/3	0	1	0
StudentCourseSession	54	2/3	1	0	1

REHEARSAL OUTPUT

Mapping & codeset coverage

Codesets declared by the field catalogue and how the rehearsal could check them.

5 of 5 declared codesets ship with DataBridge and were checked.

Validated against a representative subset: COURSEAIM, ETHNIC, FEEELIG

Mapping rejections per entity are in the rehearsal report’s mapping summary.

UNVERIFIED

[UNVERIFIED] evidence

Items in DataBridge’s shipped rule/codeset sources still carrying [UNVERIFIED] markers — the value was not transcribed from the published source. Treat dependent fields as unconfirmed until docs/CODESET_VERIFICATION_WORKSHEET.md is completed.

FEEELIG — codeset-citation (source.citation)

REHEARSAL OUTPUT

Assumptions applied to the selected rehearsal

Only assumptions that actually applied to the run — confirm each is acceptable for your institution.

ukprn-stamped — The provider UKPRN supplied to the rehearsal was stamped onto every Student record; it was not read from the source extract.
codesets-representative-subset — Codeset validation for COURSEAIM, ETHNIC, FEEELIG uses a curated representative subset of the published codes, not the full published list.
sample-data — This rehearsal ran on the built-in SYNTHETIC sample extract: fictional students and identifiers, not institutional data, stamped with the fictional placeholder UKPRN 00000000 (not a real provider).

LIVE DATA-QUALITY INDICATOR

Live data quality

Latest completed DataBridge audit run for this tenant. It covers every rule family the audit profile ran — not only Student-stream checks — and is not a HESA validation outcome.

Remediation queue

This queue is derived read-only from the selected rehearsal's report and re-computed on every view. Owners are suggested teams, not assignments; record assignment, acknowledgement, and completion in your institution's own tracking. Items contain aggregate counts and field/rule references only — never student-level records.

8 outstanding (0 blocker · 2 high · 3 medium · 3 advisory) · 3 cleared since the previous rehearsal

Derived read-only remediation queue for the selected rehearsal
Priority	Status	Finding	Suggested owner	Action
high	outstanding	Required field StudentCourseSession.STULOAD is partial FTE load: a required catalogued field is partial in the rehearsed extract — chase with the data owner. Evidence: 51/54 record(s) populated. · See “Field coverage” in the rehearsal report.	Data Management(suggested)
high	outstanding	Un-waived ERROR findings from DataBridge's internal quality rules Review the rehearsal report's quality-rule findings with the data owner and fix the source data (or record a governed waiver). Not a HESA validation outcome. Evidence: 2 un-waived ERROR finding(s) of 2 raised. · See “DataBridge quality-rule findings” in the rehearsal report.	Data Management(suggested)
medium	outstanding	Optional field Student.ETHNIC is partial Ethnicity: an optional catalogued field is partial. Confirm whether your institution needs it for this collection. Evidence: 49/54 record(s) populated. · See “Field coverage” in the rehearsal report.	Planning(suggested)
medium	outstanding	WARN findings from DataBridge's internal quality rules Advisory findings worth reviewing before a submission cycle; they do not withhold the return preview. Evidence: 7 WARN finding(s) raised. · See “DataBridge quality-rule findings” in the rehearsal report.	Data Management(suggested)
medium	outstanding	[UNVERIFIED] codeset-citation — FEEELIG The source.citation of FEEELIG carries an [UNVERIFIED] marker: the value was not transcribed from the published source. Treat fields relying on it as unconfirmed until a maintainer completes the verification worksheet. Evidence: Marker(s): [UNVERIFIED: vendor-supplied mapping]. · See “docs/CODESET_VERIFICATION_WORKSHEET.md”.	DataBridge maintainer(suggested)
advisory	outstanding	Some codesets validate against a representative subset Codeset validation for COURSEAIM, ETHNIC, FEEELIG uses a curated representative subset of the published codes, not the full published list. Evidence: Recorded as an assumption on the rehearsal run. · See “Assumptions applied to this run” in the rehearsal report.	DataBridge maintainer(suggested)
advisory	outstanding	Optional field Engagement.FEEELIG is unavailable Fee eligibility: an optional catalogued field is unavailable. Confirm whether your institution needs it for this collection. Evidence: 0/54 record(s) populated. · See “Field coverage” in the rehearsal report.	Planning(suggested)
advisory	outstanding	Field Student.LEGACY_FLAG is outside the checked catalogue The rehearsed records carry this field, but it is not in the HESA Student field catalogue the rehearsal checks against. Confirm it is intentional. Evidence: Present on emitted records; absent from the field catalogue. · See “Fields outside the catalogue” in the rehearsal report.	Data Management(suggested)

high	cleared	Entity Engagement was not emitted No Engagement records were mapped from the source extract, so none of its catalogued fields could be assessed. Evidence: 2 required catalogued field(s) unavailable because the entity is absent. · See “Field coverage” in the rehearsal report.	Data Management(suggested)	action-0002 (closed)
medium	cleared	Optional field Student.DISABLE is partial Disability: an optional catalogued field is partial. Confirm whether your institution needs it for this collection. Evidence: 47/54 record(s) populated. · See “Field coverage” in the rehearsal report.	Planning(suggested)

Internal readiness briefing

A reviewable internal evidence pack built from the selected rehearsal — coverage, structural findings, assumptions, [UNVERIFIED] items, known limitations and next actions. It records no sign-off and is never a filed statutory return; generation is recorded on the audit trail.
