Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 120 rows came out of a blueprint — 22 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
- Each row represents an individual order or shipment.
- Include carbon emissions calculated per package (kg CO2e).
- Log offset methods (renewables, reforestation, credits) and associated costs.
- Capture offset verification status (pending, verified, failed).
- Include shipping partner and delivery speed.
