Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 600 rows came out of a blueprint — 9 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Count of reported claims (not closed claims)
  • Accident year and development period structure
  • Ultimate claim count projection
  • IBNR claim count = Ultimate count - Reported count
  • Frequency trends separate from severity
  • Average claim severity = Incurred losses / Claim count
  • Frequency-severity method for ultimate losses
  • Late reporting patterns for tail lines
