Your lab uses shared drives with CSVs. Only one person knows how the notebooks work. Pipelines break when data gets messy.

Reviewers want more than a model on one dataset. Your ideas must work in noisy conditions. Your work must fit into a real system.

Production-shaped data mirrors a real app. It includes:

• Multiple tables with links
• Rules for data
• Activity patterns over time
• Missing values and errors

Synthetic data helps your research:

• It protects privacy
• It shows where systems fail
• It prepares students for industry jobs

Start small.

• Use a synthetic store for classes.
• Map entities and relationships for your project.
• Share schemas with partners instead of raw data.

Look at your current project. Ask yourself:

• What app does this data represent?
• What would the database look like?
• What errors happen over time?
