# Synthetic Data

Synthetic data is artificially generated data designed to resemble real-world data for testing, training, or analysis.

## Why it matters

Synthetic data can expand rare scenarios and reduce use of sensitive records, but it can preserve or amplify assumptions from the generator. Teams must evaluate whether it represents the real population and keep independent real-world validation data.

## Example

A support team generates unusual ticket variations for stress testing, then measures performance on a held-out set of anonymized real tickets before release.
