The cheapest place to fix a test-data coverage gap is the PRD; the most expensive is production. This section makes the team name the archetypes and edge cases a feature needs before engineering kickoff — not after.

Most wealth-tech features ship with no one attesting the test corpus covered every code path. This one-pager gets engineering, QA, compliance, and product to co-sign that it did, before launch — not after an examiner asks.

Most procurement cycles stall on the vendor questionnaire because the questions were wrong, not the answers. This one skips the PII boilerplate synthetic data doesn't need and goes straight to lineage, license, and refresh.

Data-classification policies assume real PII, so synthetic data trips every clause and stalls procurement — even though no actual person is in it. This memo gives legal the argument for why GLBA, GDPR, and CCPA don't apply.

Reg BI exam outcomes hinge on whether your recommendation event log has the fields an examiner walks through. This schema, calibrated against SEC sweep findings, is defensible before the first finding, not retrofitted after.

When synthetic data shows up in a SOC 2 Type II window, auditors ask how it's classified, changed, protected, and where the evidence trail is. This package has the control narratives and sample artifacts that answer them.

Most Form ADV amendment problems aren't late filings — they're filings with no trail of what changed. This template gives every part of the form its own change log and attestation, so the answer's on paper before an examiner asks.

A decision record that only stores the outcome can't answer why. This template ships the field-by-field shape — trigger, options considered, resolution, cited rule — that makes a decision log reconstructible after the fact, the same shape DecisionSynth's own decision episodes use.

Twenty questions that force a specific answer instead of a marketing slide — ground-truth provenance, held-out protocol, retrieval budget, creator-model disclosure, and reproducibility, each with what a defensible answer actually looks like.
