Description
Parent: PolicyEngine/populace#144.
Why
Some policyengine-uk-data tickets are not straightforward ports. They are product or architecture decisions that should not block archive as open uk-data work, but need a Populace-owned decision record.
Decisions to make
- Multi-year/panel UK data: policyengine-uk-data#345, #346, #158.
- Public UK transfer artifact and manifest: policyengine-uk-data#377 and related transfer/PIP work such as #419.
- Firm data: policyengine-uk-data#186.
- FIG/non-dom modelling: policyengine-uk-data#145, noting the UK moved from non-dom rules to the FIG regime from April 6, 2025.
- Capital gains method choices: policyengine-uk-data#27, #28, and whether #83 is obsolete under Populace QRF/support gates.
- IMD/deprivation: policyengine-uk-data#97.
- Microplex mp-30k-uk beta: policyengine-uk-data#422, likely obsolete if Populace UK remains the default path.
Acceptance criteria
- Each item is either promoted to a Populace implementation issue, explicitly rejected as out of scope, or assigned to another repository such as
policyengine-uk. - Decisions state the intended artifact variant, if any: compact, local, transfer, panel, or external/non-Populace.
- No archived uk-data issue remains the only durable record of the decision.

Research direction
Start with the parent issue and review the listed policyengine-uk-data tickets, grouping them by panel data, transfer artifacts, firm data, FIG/non-dom, capital gains, deprivation, and the microplex beta. Record for each item whether it becomes a Populace issue, is rejected, or moves elsewhere, including the intended artifact variant; done means no archived uk-data issue is the sole durable record.
