Research Dataset 1: pawn_loan_activity
# pawn_loan_activity Synthetic dataset modeling pawn loan activity by category, amount, duration, and region. Scenario: `baseline` Synthetic dataset for research and modeling. No real customer-level data included. King Gold & Pawn is a multi-location pawn lender operating in New York including Freeport, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Westchester. ## What This Dataset Shows Synthetic pawn loan records tie collateral mix, loan sizing, durations, and repayment behavior together across New York regions. This build contains 13,722 rows under the baseline scenario. ## Modeling Narrative Baseline operating conditions with steady category mix, realistic outliers, and moderate seasonal movement. ## Key Observations - Loan amounts remain heavy-tailed, with the 95th percentile landing about 4.80x the median ticket size. - Repeat customers default at 2.7% versus 8.1% for non-repeat borrowers. - Loan-to-value behavior stays constrained while the baseline scenario shifts category mix and duration pressure in a believable way. ## Versioning - Version: `2026-04-05` - Canonical hash: `b83cc26776b4235ba49aa6d7d2e0014315ef542447636476d90fd3d08f7c9e8c` - Row count: `13722` ## Constraints - Determi...
Research Dataset 2: collateral_distribution_and_liquidity
# collateral_distribution_and_liquidity Synthetic category-level view of collateral mix, value bands, and liquidity characteristics. Scenario: `seasonal_back_to_school` Synthetic dataset for research and modeling. No real customer-level data included. King Gold & Pawn is a multi-location pawn lender operating in New York including Freeport, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Westchester. ## What This Dataset Shows Synthetic collateral mix data shows how value, liquidity, and seasonality differ across core pawn inventory categories and subcategories. This build contains 48 rows under the seasonal back to school scenario. ## Modeling Narrative Electronics and smaller-ticket demand shift seasonally as late-summer and early-fall liquidity needs rise. ## Key Observations - Collateral shares normalize to 100.00% of total inventory, keeping the mix internally consistent. - Jewelry and many electronics rows retain higher liquidity scores than tools or miscellaneous collateral, which preserves realistic resale asymmetry. - The seasonal back to school scenario keeps both mid-value and high-value subcategories in the same bundle so analysts can see meaningful spread instead of flat averages. ## ...
Research Dataset 3: customer_behavior_segments
# customer_behavior_segments Synthetic behavioral segmentation of pawn customer patterns without identifying real individuals. Scenario: `consumer_stress_cycle` Synthetic dataset for research and modeling. No real customer-level data included. King Gold & Pawn is a multi-location pawn lender operating in New York including Freeport, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Westchester. ## What This Dataset Shows Synthetic customer segments describe visit cadence, ticket size, collateral preferences, and modeled repayment risk without exposing any real borrower identities. This build contains 6,669 rows under the consumer stress cycle scenario. ## Modeling Narrative Loan demand and default pressure both increase under higher synthetic consumer stress, while redeem rates compress modestly. ## Key Observations - Average annual visit frequency is 4.33, supporting repeat-use behavior instead of one-off random records. - Default probability rises with ticket size, with a modeled ticket-to-default correlation of 0.50. - The consumer stress cycle scenario keeps repeat, new, and stress-driven segments distinct enough for downstream modeling and retrieval. ## Versioning - Version: `2026-03-25` - Can...
