Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 75 rows came out of a blueprint — 18 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 one employee's monthly remote work impact.
  • Must record estimated commute miles avoided and home office energy usage.
  • Includes columns for equipment issued and workspace adaptation support.
  • Remote status validated against HR attendance and IT log data.
  • Travel reduction benefit must be quantified using standard CO2 conversion.
