Decision tree for using the Simulacrum and submitting code to NDRS

The below image shows a decision tree for using the Simulacrum and submitting code to NDRS. Please refer to download section for a full summary of the content of this image:

This decision tree outlines the process for using Simulacrum to write code and then submit it alongside a request for a data release. The route depends on whether data outputs produced by the code are found anonymous according to the ISB Anonymisation Standard (see developing code using Simulacrum for a data release request section for more details) and how long the data request takes to process (see submitting code to NDRS for a data release section for more details).
