Synthetic Data for Marketplaces
A marketplace is two populations linked by transactions. Misata generates buyers and sellers, connects them through listings and orders, and computes marketplace economics like take rate as derived columns so the platform cut always equals its formula.
The tables Misata generates
buyersDemographics, order-count and spend roll-upssellersRatings, catalogs, revenue roll-upslistingsPriced items referencing sellerstransactionsBuyer-seller orders, platform fee derived from take rateWhat holds true, every time
- Platform fee equals order value times take rate, computed not sampled
- Every transaction references a real buyer, seller, and listing
- Buyer spend and seller revenue reconcile with transaction rows
- Same seed reproduces the identical marketplace
Frequently asked
Do I need real marketplace data to generate this?
No. Misata builds the dataset from a specification, not a sample. There is no real marketplace data to source, anonymize, or leak. You describe the tables you need and the engine constructs them with referential integrity and realistic distributions.
Is the generated marketplace data privacy safe?
Yes, by construction. Nothing is learned from real records, so there is no membership to infer and nothing to leak. It runs entirely on your machine with no API key for the core engine.
Can I control the outcomes, like rates and totals?
Yes. Declare a target such as a monthly volume curve or an event rate and Misata produces rows that hit it exactly, while foreign keys stay intact and roll-up columns reconcile after a JOIN.
