Field notes
Each company pack is described as a whole business, with systems using their own vendor names, formats, and keys, plus a manual explaining the columns. Users can size a scenario and adjust parameters such as store count or inflation before directing its outputs to their own services. The examples also include operational wrinkles like updates and deletes, nulls, duplicates, and out-of-order events.
