From a0e7b0fa7fa5235ffa2191aef7b619c8b682a38b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shay Palachy Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 14:00:41 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] docs(release): PR 8.2 difficulty-axis reframe + disclosure hardening MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit HIGH issues resolved: - Reframe tiers as prevalence/noise axes throughout release/README.md and release/huggingface/README.md: added 'Tier purpose' row, 'Reading this table' note explaining flat AUC, updated tier descriptions from modelling-difficulty framing to prevalence + noise characterisation. - Add calibration_max_bin_error column to metrics table (advanced=0.52 is the signal that was hidden behind Brier-only reporting). - Clarify acceptance bands are regression fences, not realism thresholds: added blockquote in docs/release/v1_acceptance_gates.md. - Fix isPrivate: true → false in release/kaggle/dataset-metadata.json. MEDIUM issues resolved: - Change HF default config intro (was intermediate): DEFAULT_DEFAULT_CONFIG in scripts/package_hf_release.py + regenerated release/huggingface/README.md + updated test assertion. - Remove intermediate_instructor/ from public README What's-inside tree and from SOURCE_TREE_BLOCK in scripts/_release_common.py. - Elevate 93% account-overlap warning: added 'Evaluation note — account overlap' section before tier table in both READMEs. - Add non-physical values bullet to Known limitations. - Add 'intended prevalence axis' language; change 'intended difficulty axis' wording. Preview committed samples updated: release/_preview_committed/{kaggle,huggingface_public}.html Tests: 1418 passed, 5 skipped (notebook execution test pre-existing fail on main; unrelated to this PR).

Difficulty is modulated\nby the simulation engine — signal strength on latent-trait weights,\nGaussian noise on float features, MCAR missingness, outlier rate —\nnot post-hoc label flipping. The acceptance band is the recipe\ngate's tolerance window (`v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml` G7.\\*),\nnot the achievable range — observed five-seed spreads sit\ncomfortably inside the band.\n\n## The scenario\n\n**Veridian Technologies** is a fictional Series B startup (Austin, US)\nselling **Veridian Procure**, a procurement / AP automation SaaS, to\nmid-market firms (200–2,000 employees) in the US and UK. The funnel\nruns through inbound marketing (45%), SDR outbound (35%), and\npartner referrals (20%); four personas drive deals (VP Finance, AP\nManager, IT Director, Procurement Manager). **Task:** predict whether\na lead converts (`closed_won`) within 90 days. ACV bands are\n$18k–$120k. See\n[`docs/release/generation_method.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/generation_method.md)\nfor the full DGP, and the deeper \"what's modelled / approximate / not\nmodelled\" breakdown that this README only summarises.\n\n## Public vs instructor: what's redacted\n\nFiltering happens **during rendering**, not during simulation. The\nredaction contract is single-sourced in\n[`leadforge/validation/leakage_probes.py`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/leadforge/validation/leakage_probes.py);\nthe snapshot-safe writer and the validator import the same constants,\nso they cannot drift apart.\n\n| Source-of-truth constant | Public bundle treatment |\n|---|---|\n| `BANNED_LEAD_COLUMNS = (\"converted_within_90_days\", \"conversion_timestamp\")` | Dropped from `tables/leads.parquet` |\n| `BANNED_OPP_COLUMNS = (\"close_outcome\", \"closed_at\")` | Dropped from `tables/opportunities.parquet` |\n| `BANNED_TABLES = (\"customers\", \"subscriptions\")` | Omitted from public bundles |\n| `SNAPSHOT_FILTERED_TABLES` (touches, sessions, sales_activities, opportunities) | Filtered per-lead by `lead_created_at + snapshot_day` |\n| Snapshot redaction (`current_stage`, `is_sql`) | Stripped from `tasks/` splits and `tables/leads.parquet` |\n| `total_touches_all` (deliberate trap) | **Retained in both modes**; flagged `leakage_risk=True` |\n\nEach bundle's `manifest.json` records `relational_snapshot_safe`,\n`redacted_columns`, and `snapshot_day`, so the bundle is\nself-describing.\n\n## Calibration\n\nEvery realism / calibration / difficulty claim in this README is\nbacked by\n[`validation/validation_report.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/release/validation/validation_report.md),\nregenerated by\n[`scripts/validate_release_candidate.py`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/scripts/validate_release_candidate.py)\nwith bands declared in\n[`docs/release/v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml).\nHeadline cross-seed medians (seeds 42–46):\n\n| Tier | LR AUC | AP | P@100 | Brier |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| intro | 0.879 | 0.761 | 0.80 | 0.130 |\n| intermediate | 0.886 | 0.575 | 0.59 | 0.110 |\n| advanced | 0.886 | 0.351 | 0.34 | 0.061 |\n\nAP, P@100, conversion-rate, and lift orderings hold across the\nintended difficulty axis (intro > intermediate > advanced).\n\n## Intended uses\n\n- Teaching baseline lead-scoring on a flat snapshot.\n- Teaching relational feature engineering against snapshot-safe tables.\n- Teaching leakage detection (the `total_touches_all` trap is\n designed to be discoverable).\n- Teaching calibration, lift, P@K, value-aware ranking\n (`expected_acv × P(convert)`), and cohort-shift evaluation.\n- Comparing model families under a controlled DGP.\n\n## Out-of-scope uses\n\n- **Production lead scoring.** The company, product, and customers are\n fictional.\n- **Vendor benchmarking / paper baselines.** Difficulty tiers are\n calibrated for pedagogy, not cross-paper comparability.\n- **Causal-inference research that requires recovery of the true DGP.**\n The instructor companion exposes the hidden graph for teaching, not\n designed counterfactuals.\n- **Demographic / fairness research.** v1 does not model protected\n attributes.\n\n## Known limitations\n\n- **Difficulty signal on raw AUC is flat.** LR AUC is ~0.88 across\n every tier. Difficulty is visible in AP, P@K, Brier, and value\n capture. Treat AUC as a sanity check, not a difficulty signal.\n- **GBM does not consistently beat LR (gate G7.4.4).** GBM−LR AUC delta\n is slightly negative in every tier (intro −0.0045, intermediate\n −0.0072, advanced −0.0133); v1's snapshot is dominated by linear\n features. v2 will inject non-linear interactions in the simulator.\n- **Channel signal is weak.** Per\n [`docs/release/channel_signal_audit.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/channel_signal_audit.md),\n out-of-sample univariate AUC of `lead_source` is ≈0.50–0.52 across\n all tiers and the per-channel rate spread is ≤0.05. The simulator\n does not encode channel-conditional probabilities; channel-conditional\n encoding is post-v1 work.\n- **Cohort-shift degradation is small.** v1 has no time-of-year drift\n baked in; the cohort-shift gate (G6.4) is informational and will\n bite in v2.\n\n## Composition\n\n- **Entities.** Accounts, contacts, leads, touches, sessions,\n sales_activities, opportunities (public); plus customers and\n subscriptions (instructor only). Per-row counts per bundle live in\n `manifest.json`.\n- **Features.** 32 public columns grouped by analytical role in\n [`docs/release/feature_dictionary.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/feature_dictionary.md);\n the per-bundle `feature_dictionary.csv` is the authoritative\n machine-readable spec.\n- **Label.** `converted_within_90_days` (boolean), event-derived from\n the simulator.

Choose a tier\nbased on the teaching exercise, not on expected AUC:\n\n| | Intro | Intermediate | Advanced |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| **Tier purpose** | High-prevalence warm-up | Default benchmark | Low-prevalence · calibration · noise exercise |\n| Leads | 5,000 | 5,000 | 5,000 |\n| Accounts | 1,500 | 1,500 | 1,500 |\n| Contacts | 4,200 | 4,200 | 4,200 |\n| Snapshot columns | 31 / 34* | 31 / 34* | 31 / 34* |\n| Target | `converted_within_90_days` | `converted_within_90_days` | `converted_within_90_days` |\n| Conversion rate (acceptance band, gate G7.\\*) | 24–61% | 12–31% | 4–12% |\n| Conversion rate (observed median, seeds 42–46) | 42.67% | 21.60% | 8.40% |\n| Signal strength | 0.90 | 0.70 | 0.50 |\n| Noise scale | 0.10 | 0.30 | 0.55 |\n| Missing rate | 2% | 8% | 18% |\n\n\\* `student_public` / `research_instructor`. Difficulty is modulated\nby the simulation engine — signal strength on latent-trait weights,\nGaussian noise on float features, MCAR missingness, outlier rate —\nnot post-hoc label flipping. The acceptance band is the recipe\ngate's tolerance window (`v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml` G7.\\*),\nnot the achievable range — observed five-seed spreads sit\ncomfortably inside the band.\n\n## The scenario\n\n**Veridian Technologies** is a fictional Series B startup (Austin, US)\nselling **Veridian Procure**, a procurement / AP automation SaaS, to\nmid-market firms (200–2,000 employees) in the US and UK. The funnel\nruns through inbound marketing (45%), SDR outbound (35%), and\npartner referrals (20%); four personas drive deals (VP Finance, AP\nManager, IT Director, Procurement Manager). **Task:** predict whether\na lead converts (`closed_won`) within 90 days. ACV bands are\n$18k–$120k. See\n[`docs/release/generation_method.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/generation_method.md)\nfor the full DGP, and the deeper \"what's modelled / approximate / not\nmodelled\" breakdown that this README only summarises.\n\n## Public vs instructor: what's redacted\n\nFiltering happens **during rendering**, not during simulation. The\nredaction contract is single-sourced in\n[`leadforge/validation/leakage_probes.py`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/leadforge/validation/leakage_probes.py);\nthe snapshot-safe writer and the validator import the same constants,\nso they cannot drift apart.\n\n| Source-of-truth constant | Public bundle treatment |\n|---|---|\n| `BANNED_LEAD_COLUMNS = (\"converted_within_90_days\", \"conversion_timestamp\")` | Dropped from `tables/leads.parquet` |\n| `BANNED_OPP_COLUMNS = (\"close_outcome\", \"closed_at\")` | Dropped from `tables/opportunities.parquet` |\n| `BANNED_TABLES = (\"customers\", \"subscriptions\")` | Omitted from public bundles |\n| `SNAPSHOT_FILTERED_TABLES` (touches, sessions, sales_activities, opportunities) | Filtered per-lead by `lead_created_at + snapshot_day` |\n| Snapshot redaction (`current_stage`, `is_sql`) | Stripped from `tasks/` splits and `tables/leads.parquet` |\n| `total_touches_all` (deliberate trap) | **Retained in both modes**; flagged `leakage_risk=True` |\n\nEach bundle's `manifest.json` records `relational_snapshot_safe`,\n`redacted_columns`, and `snapshot_day`, so the bundle is\nself-describing.\n\n## Calibration\n\nEvery realism / calibration / difficulty claim in this README is\nbacked by\n[`validation/validation_report.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/release/validation/validation_report.md),\nregenerated by\n[`scripts/validate_release_candidate.py`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/scripts/validate_release_candidate.py)\nwith bands declared in\n[`docs/release/v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml).\nHeadline cross-seed medians (seeds 42–46):\n\n| Tier | LR AUC | AP | P@100 | Brier | Cal. max-bin err |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| intro | 0.879 | 0.761 | 0.80 | 0.130 | 0.25 |\n| intermediate | 0.886 | 0.575 | 0.59 | 0.110 | 0.25 |\n| advanced | 0.886 | 0.351 | 0.34 | 0.061 | **0.52** |\n\n**Reading this table:** LR AUC is flat across tiers by design — the\ntiers are a prevalence / noise axis, not a rank-discrimination axis.\nBrier score *improves* as prevalence falls (a prevalence effect, not\nbetter calibration); use `calibration_max_bin_error` to assess\ncalibration quality. Advanced's 0.52 max-bin error means the model's\npredicted probabilities are materially mis-scaled against actual\nconversion rates — a realistic miscalibration exercise.\n\nAP, P@100, conversion-rate, and lift orderings hold across the\nintended prevalence axis (intro > intermediate > advanced).\n\n## Intended uses\n\n- Teaching baseline lead-scoring on a flat snapshot.\n- Teaching relational feature engineering against snapshot-safe tables.\n- Teaching leakage detection (the `total_touches_all` trap is\n designed to be discoverable).\n- Teaching calibration, lift, P@K, value-aware ranking\n (`expected_acv × P(convert)`), and cohort-shift evaluation.\n- Comparing model families under a controlled DGP.\n\n## Out-of-scope uses\n\n- **Production lead scoring.** The company, product, and customers are\n fictional.\n- **Vendor benchmarking / paper baselines.** Difficulty tiers are\n calibrated for pedagogy, not cross-paper comparability.\n- **Causal-inference research that requires recovery of the true DGP.**\n The instructor companion exposes the hidden graph for teaching, not\n designed counterfactuals.\n- **Demographic / fairness research.** v1 does not model protected\n attributes.\n\n## Known limitations\n\n- **Tiers are a prevalence / noise axis, not a modelling-complexity\n axis.** LR AUC is ~0.88 in every tier; the three tiers differ in\n conversion rate (43% / 22% / 8%), noise scale, and missingness —\n not in rank discrimination. Use AP, P@K, and calibration metrics\n to see the difficulty gradient; AUC alone will not show it.\n- **93% account overlap across train / test splits.** Random splits are\n keyed on lead ID; most test accounts also appear in train. Headline\n metrics over-state generalisation to unseen accounts. Use\n `GroupKFold(account_id)` for a faithful estimate.\n- **GBM does not consistently beat LR (gate G7.4.4).** GBM−LR AUC delta\n is slightly negative in every tier (intro −0.0045, intermediate\n −0.0072, advanced −0.0133); v1's snapshot is dominated by linear\n features. v2 will inject non-linear interactions in the simulator.\n- **Channel signal is weak.** Per\n [`docs/release/channel_signal_audit.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/channel_signal_audit.md),\n out-of-sample univariate AUC of `lead_source` is ≈0.50–0.52 across\n all tiers and the per-channel rate spread is ≤0.05. The simulator\n does not encode channel-conditional probabilities; channel-conditional\n encoding is post-v1 work.\n- **Cohort-shift degradation is small.** v1 has no time-of-year drift\n baked in; the cohort-shift gate (G6.4) is informational and will\n bite in v2.\n- **Advanced-tier noise can produce non-physical values.** With\n `noise_scale=0.55` and `missing_rate=18%`, Gaussian noise injection\n can yield negative values in count and duration columns before MCAR\n fill (e.g. a negative `days_since_last_touch`). These are treated\n as real-world data-messiness artifacts; the snapshot builder clamps\n them to zero, but some residual distortion is intentional as a\n data-cleaning exercise.\n\n## Composition\n\n- **Entities.** Accounts, contacts, leads, touches, sessions,\n sales_activities, opportunities (public); plus customers and\n subscriptions (instructor only). Per-row counts per bundle live in\n `manifest.json`.\n- **Features.** 32 public columns grouped by analytical role in\n [`docs/release/feature_dictionary.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/feature_dictionary.md);\n the per-bundle `feature_dictionary.csv` is the authoritative\n machine-readable spec.\n- **Label.** `converted_within_90_days` (boolean), event-derived from\n the simulator. Never sampled directly.\n- **Splits.** 70/15/15 train/valid/test, deterministic given seed;\n recorded in `tasks/converted_within_90_days/task_manifest.json`.\n Splits are keyed on `lead_id`; see the *Evaluation note* above for\n the account-overlap caveat.\n- **Provenance.** Recipe `b2b_saas_procurement_v1`, seed 42, package\n version stamped in `manifest.json`.\n\n## Maintenance, adversarial framing, license\n\nWe *want* the dataset to be broken. The\n[break-me guide](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/break_me_guide.md) catalogues\nnine adversarial patterns to look for (leakage, split\ncontamination, ranking inversions, calibration drift) with\nworked-example pointers back into the notebooks.

Changed to isPrivate=False in scripts/package_kaggle_release.py. Committed dataset-metadata.json regenerated; now has isPrivate: false. Issue 2 (HIGH): Composition section said '32 public columns' but PR 8.1 dropped first_touch_channel, making the count 31. Summary table was already correct (31 / 34*); prose was not updated. Fixed in both release/README.md and (via packager) release/huggingface/README.md.

Restored: section renamed to 'Evaluation note — account and contact overlap'; added sentence that contact-level overlap is comparable in magnitude to account-level. Known limitations bullet also updated to say 'account and contact overlap'. Issue 5 (MEDIUM): Non-physical values bullet described pre-clamp internals (negative values, recipe parameter names) rather than user-observable state. Rewrote: users see artifact zeros (clamped results), not negative values; removed noise_scale/missing_rate parameter names; focused on the data-cleaning diagnostic (suspicious zero clusters in count and duration columns). Issue 6 (MEDIUM): 'Cal. max-bin err' column header was not mappable to the canonical metric name calibration_max_bin_error in validation_report.json. Changed to backtick-quoted canonical name. Issue 7 (LOW): DEFAULT_DEFAULT_CONFIG comment said 'intermediate is the default benchmark for graded assignments' — contradictory above a constant that just changed from intermediate to intro. Rewrote as a recommendation: 'pass default_config="intermediate" for graded assignments'. Tests: 1419 passed, 5 skipped (pre-existing notebook test on main).

The tiers differ in conversion\nrate, missingness, and noise — not rank discrimination. Choose a tier\nbased on the teaching exercise, not on expected AUC:\n\n| | Intro | Intermediate | Advanced |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| **Tier purpose** | High-prevalence warm-up | Default benchmark | Low-prevalence · calibration · noise exercise |\n| Leads | 5,000 | 5,000 | 5,000 |\n| Accounts | 1,500 | 1,500 | 1,500 |\n| Contacts | 4,200 | 4,200 | 4,200 |\n| Snapshot columns | 31 / 34* | 31 / 34* | 31 / 34* |\n| Target | `converted_within_90_days` | `converted_within_90_days` | `converted_within_90_days` |\n| Conversion rate (acceptance band, gate G7.\\*) | 24–61% | 12–31% | 4–12% |\n| Conversion rate (observed median, seeds 42–46) | 42.67% | 21.60% | 8.40% |\n| Signal strength | 0.90 | 0.70 | 0.50 |\n| Noise scale | 0.10 | 0.30 | 0.55 |\n| Missing rate | 2% | 8% | 18% |\n\n\\* `student_public` / `research_instructor`. Difficulty is modulated\nby the simulation engine — signal strength on latent-trait weights,\nGaussian noise on float features, MCAR missingness, outlier rate —\nnot post-hoc label flipping. The acceptance band is the recipe\ngate's tolerance window (`v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml` G7.\\*),\nnot the achievable range — observed five-seed spreads sit\ncomfortably inside the band.\n\n## The scenario\n\n**Veridian Technologies** is a fictional Series B startup (Austin, US)\nselling **Veridian Procure**, a procurement / AP automation SaaS, to\nmid-market firms (200–2,000 employees) in the US and UK. The funnel\nruns through inbound marketing (45%), SDR outbound (35%), and\npartner referrals (20%); four personas drive deals (VP Finance, AP\nManager, IT Director, Procurement Manager). **Task:** predict whether\na lead converts (`closed_won`) within 90 days. ACV bands are\n$18k–$120k. See\n[`docs/release/generation_method.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/generation_method.md)\nfor the full DGP, and the deeper \"what's modelled / approximate / not\nmodelled\" breakdown that this README only summarises.\n\n## Public vs instructor: what's redacted\n\nFiltering happens **during rendering**, not during simulation. The\nredaction contract is single-sourced in\n[`leadforge/validation/leakage_probes.py`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/leadforge/validation/leakage_probes.py);\nthe snapshot-safe writer and the validator import the same constants,\nso they cannot drift apart.\n\n| Source-of-truth constant | Public bundle treatment |\n|---|---|\n| `BANNED_LEAD_COLUMNS = (\"converted_within_90_days\", \"conversion_timestamp\")` | Dropped from `tables/leads.parquet` |\n| `BANNED_OPP_COLUMNS = (\"close_outcome\", \"closed_at\")` | Dropped from `tables/opportunities.parquet` |\n| `BANNED_TABLES = (\"customers\", \"subscriptions\")` | Omitted from public bundles |\n| `SNAPSHOT_FILTERED_TABLES` (touches, sessions, sales_activities, opportunities) | Filtered per-lead by `lead_created_at + snapshot_day` |\n| Snapshot redaction (`current_stage`, `is_sql`) | Stripped from `tasks/` splits and `tables/leads.parquet` |\n| `total_touches_all` (deliberate trap) | **Retained in both modes**; flagged `leakage_risk=True` |\n\nEach bundle's `manifest.json` records `relational_snapshot_safe`,\n`redacted_columns`, and `snapshot_day`, so the bundle is\nself-describing.\n\n## Calibration\n\nEvery realism / calibration / difficulty claim in this README is\nbacked by\n[`validation/validation_report.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/release/validation/validation_report.md),\nregenerated by\n[`scripts/validate_release_candidate.py`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/scripts/validate_release_candidate.py)\nwith bands declared in\n[`docs/release/v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml).\nHeadline cross-seed medians (seeds 42–46):\n\n| Tier | LR AUC | AP | P@100 | Brier | Cal. max-bin err |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| intro | 0.879 | 0.761 | 0.80 | 0.130 | 0.25 |\n| intermediate | 0.886 | 0.575 | 0.59 | 0.110 | 0.25 |\n| advanced | 0.886 | 0.351 | 0.34 | 0.061 | **0.52** |\n\n**Reading this table:** LR AUC is flat across tiers by design — the\ntiers are a prevalence / noise axis, not a rank-discrimination axis.\nBrier score *improves* as prevalence falls (a prevalence effect, not\nbetter calibration); use `calibration_max_bin_error` to assess\ncalibration quality. Advanced's 0.52 max-bin error means the model's\npredicted probabilities are materially mis-scaled against actual\nconversion rates — a realistic miscalibration exercise.\n\nAP, P@100, conversion-rate, and lift orderings hold across the\nintended prevalence axis (intro > intermediate > advanced).\n\n## Intended uses\n\n- Teaching baseline lead-scoring on a flat snapshot.\n- Teaching relational feature engineering against snapshot-safe tables.\n- Teaching leakage detection (the `total_touches_all` trap is\n designed to be discoverable).\n- Teaching calibration, lift, P@K, value-aware ranking\n (`expected_acv × P(convert)`), and cohort-shift evaluation.\n- Comparing model families under a controlled DGP.\n\n## Out-of-scope uses\n\n- **Production lead scoring.** The company, product, and customers are\n fictional.\n- **Vendor benchmarking / paper baselines.** Difficulty tiers are\n calibrated for pedagogy, not cross-paper comparability.\n- **Causal-inference research that requires recovery of the true DGP.**\n The instructor companion exposes the hidden graph for teaching, not\n designed counterfactuals.\n- **Demographic / fairness research.** v1 does not model protected\n attributes.\n\n## Known limitations\n\n- **Tiers are a prevalence / noise axis, not a modelling-complexity\n axis.** LR AUC is ~0.88 in every tier; the three tiers differ in\n conversion rate (43% / 22% / 8%), noise scale, and missingness —\n not in rank discrimination. Use AP, P@K, and calibration metrics\n to see the difficulty gradient; AUC alone will not show it.\n- **93% account overlap across train / test splits.** Random splits are\n keyed on lead ID; most test accounts also appear in train. Headline\n metrics over-state generalisation to unseen accounts. Use\n `GroupKFold(account_id)` for a faithful estimate.\n- **GBM does not consistently beat LR (gate G7.4.4).** GBM−LR AUC delta\n is slightly negative in every tier (intro −0.0045, intermediate\n −0.0072, advanced −0.0133); v1's snapshot is dominated by linear\n features. v2 will inject non-linear interactions in the simulator.\n- **Channel signal is weak.** Per\n [`docs/release/channel_signal_audit.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/channel_signal_audit.md),\n out-of-sample univariate AUC of `lead_source` is ≈0.50–0.52 across\n all tiers and the per-channel rate spread is ≤0.05. The simulator\n does not encode channel-conditional probabilities; channel-conditional\n encoding is post-v1 work.\n- **Cohort-shift degradation is small.** v1 has no time-of-year drift\n baked in; the cohort-shift gate (G6.4) is informational and will\n bite in v2.\n- **Advanced-tier noise can produce non-physical values.** With\n `noise_scale=0.55` and `missing_rate=18%`, Gaussian noise injection\n can yield negative values in count and duration columns before MCAR\n fill (e.g. a negative `days_since_last_touch`). These are treated\n as real-world data-messiness artifacts; the snapshot builder clamps\n them to zero, but some residual distortion is intentional as a\n data-cleaning exercise.\n\n## Composition\n\n- **Entities.** Accounts, contacts, leads, touches, sessions,\n sales_activities, opportunities (public); plus customers and\n subscriptions (instructor only). Per-row counts per bundle live in\n `manifest.json`.\n- **Features.** 32 public columns grouped by analytical role in\n [`docs/release/feature_dictionary.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/feature_dictionary.md);\n the per-bundle `feature_dictionary.csv` is the authoritative\n machine-readable spec.\n- **Label.** `converted_within_90_days` (boolean), event-derived from\n the simulator. Never sampled directly.\n- **Splits.** 70/15/15 train/valid/test, deterministic given seed;\n recorded in `tasks/converted_within_90_days/task_manifest.json`.\n Splits are keyed on `lead_id`; see the *Evaluation note* above for\n the account-overlap caveat.\n- **Provenance.** Recipe `b2b_saas_procurement_v1`, seed 42, package\n version stamped in `manifest.json`.\n\n## Maintenance, adversarial framing, license\n\nWe *want* the dataset to be broken.

Choose a tier\nbased on the teaching exercise, not on expected AUC:\n\n| | Intro | Intermediate | Advanced |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| **Tier purpose** | High-prevalence warm-up | Default benchmark | Low-prevalence · calibration · noise exercise |\n| Leads | 5,000 | 5,000 | 5,000 |\n| Accounts | 1,500 | 1,500 | 1,500 |\n| Contacts | 4,200 | 4,200 | 4,200 |\n| Snapshot columns | 31 / 34* | 31 / 34* | 31 / 34* |\n| Target | `converted_within_90_days` | `converted_within_90_days` | `converted_within_90_days` |\n| Conversion rate (acceptance band, gate G7.\\*) | 24–61% | 12–31% | 4–12% |\n| Conversion rate (observed median, seeds 42–46) | 42.67% | 21.60% | 8.40% |\n| Signal strength | 0.90 | 0.70 | 0.50 |\n| Noise scale | 0.10 | 0.30 | 0.55 |\n| Missing rate | 2% | 8% | 18% |\n\n\\* `student_public` / `research_instructor`. Difficulty is modulated\nby the simulation engine — signal strength on latent-trait weights,\nGaussian noise on float features, MCAR missingness, outlier rate —\nnot post-hoc label flipping. The acceptance band is the recipe\ngate's tolerance window (`v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml` G7.\\*),\nnot the achievable range — observed five-seed spreads sit\ncomfortably inside the band.\n\n## The scenario\n\n**Veridian Technologies** is a fictional Series B startup (Austin, US)\nselling **Veridian Procure**, a procurement / AP automation SaaS, to\nmid-market firms (200–2,000 employees) in the US and UK. The funnel\nruns through inbound marketing (45%), SDR outbound (35%), and\npartner referrals (20%); four personas drive deals (VP Finance, AP\nManager, IT Director, Procurement Manager). **Task:** predict whether\na lead converts (`closed_won`) within 90 days. ACV bands are\n$18k–$120k. See\n[`docs/release/generation_method.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/generation_method.md)\nfor the full DGP, and the deeper \"what's modelled / approximate / not\nmodelled\" breakdown that this README only summarises.\n\n## Public vs instructor: what's redacted\n\nFiltering happens **during rendering**, not during simulation. The\nredaction contract is single-sourced in\n[`leadforge/validation/leakage_probes.py`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/leadforge/validation/leakage_probes.py);\nthe snapshot-safe writer and the validator import the same constants,\nso they cannot drift apart.\n\n| Source-of-truth constant | Public bundle treatment |\n|---|---|\n| `BANNED_LEAD_COLUMNS = (\"converted_within_90_days\", \"conversion_timestamp\")` | Dropped from `tables/leads.parquet` |\n| `BANNED_OPP_COLUMNS = (\"close_outcome\", \"closed_at\")` | Dropped from `tables/opportunities.parquet` |\n| `BANNED_TABLES = (\"customers\", \"subscriptions\")` | Omitted from public bundles |\n| `SNAPSHOT_FILTERED_TABLES` (touches, sessions, sales_activities, opportunities) | Filtered per-lead by `lead_created_at + snapshot_day` |\n| Snapshot redaction (`current_stage`, `is_sql`) | Stripped from `tasks/` splits and `tables/leads.parquet` |\n| `total_touches_all` (deliberate trap) | **Retained in both modes**; flagged `leakage_risk=True` |\n\nEach bundle's `manifest.json` records `relational_snapshot_safe`,\n`redacted_columns`, and `snapshot_day`, so the bundle is\nself-describing.\n\n## Calibration\n\nEvery realism / calibration / difficulty claim in this README is\nbacked by\n[`validation/validation_report.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/release/validation/validation_report.md),\nregenerated by\n[`scripts/validate_release_candidate.py`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/scripts/validate_release_candidate.py)\nwith bands declared in\n[`docs/release/v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/v1_acceptance_gates_bands.yaml).\nHeadline cross-seed medians (seeds 42–46):\n\n| Tier | LR AUC | AP | P@100 | Brier | `calibration_max_bin_error` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| intro | 0.879 | 0.761 | 0.80 | 0.130 | 0.25 |\n| intermediate | 0.886 | 0.575 | 0.59 | 0.110 | 0.25 |\n| advanced | 0.886 | 0.351 | 0.34 | 0.061 | **0.52** |\n\n**Reading this table:** LR AUC is flat across tiers by design — the\ntiers are a prevalence / noise axis, not a rank-discrimination axis.\nBrier score *improves* as prevalence falls (a prevalence effect, not\nbetter calibration); use `calibration_max_bin_error` to assess\ncalibration quality. Advanced's 0.52 max-bin error means the model's\npredicted probabilities are materially mis-scaled against actual\nconversion rates — a realistic miscalibration exercise.\n\nAP, P@100, conversion-rate, and lift orderings hold across the\nintended prevalence axis (intro > intermediate > advanced).\n\n## Intended uses\n\n- Teaching baseline lead-scoring on a flat snapshot.\n- Teaching relational feature engineering against snapshot-safe tables.\n- Teaching leakage detection (the `total_touches_all` trap is\n designed to be discoverable).\n- Teaching calibration, lift, P@K, value-aware ranking\n (`expected_acv × P(convert)`), and cohort-shift evaluation.\n- Comparing model families under a controlled DGP.\n\n## Out-of-scope uses\n\n- **Production lead scoring.** The company, product, and customers are\n fictional.\n- **Vendor benchmarking / paper baselines.** Difficulty tiers are\n calibrated for pedagogy, not cross-paper comparability.\n- **Causal-inference research that requires recovery of the true DGP.**\n The instructor companion exposes the hidden graph for teaching, not\n designed counterfactuals.\n- **Demographic / fairness research.** v1 does not model protected\n attributes.\n\n## Known limitations\n\n- **Tiers are a prevalence / noise axis, not a modelling-complexity\n axis.** LR AUC is ~0.88 in every tier; the three tiers differ in\n conversion rate (43% / 22% / 8%), noise scale, and missingness —\n not in rank discrimination. Use AP, P@K, and calibration metrics\n to see the difficulty gradient; AUC alone will not show it.\n- **93% account and contact overlap across train / test splits.** Random\n splits are keyed on lead ID; most test accounts and contacts also\n appear in train. Headline metrics over-state generalisation to unseen\n accounts and contacts. Use `GroupKFold(account_id)` for a faithful\n estimate.\n- **GBM does not consistently beat LR (gate G7.4.4).** GBM−LR AUC delta\n is slightly negative in every tier (intro −0.0045, intermediate\n −0.0072, advanced −0.0133); v1's snapshot is dominated by linear\n features. v2 will inject non-linear interactions in the simulator.\n- **Channel signal is weak.** Per\n [`docs/release/channel_signal_audit.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/channel_signal_audit.md),\n out-of-sample univariate AUC of `lead_source` is ≈0.50–0.52 across\n all tiers and the per-channel rate spread is ≤0.05. The simulator\n does not encode channel-conditional probabilities; channel-conditional\n encoding is post-v1 work.\n- **Cohort-shift degradation is small.** v1 has no time-of-year drift\n baked in; the cohort-shift gate (G6.4) is informational and will\n bite in v2.\n- **Advanced-tier noise can produce artifact zeros in count and duration\n columns.** Gaussian noise is applied before MCAR missingness; the\n snapshot builder clamps results below zero to zero. What users observe\n is therefore not negative values but zeros that may be noise artifacts\n rather than true zero values — e.g. `days_since_last_touch = 0` might\n mean \"noised below zero, clamped\" rather than \"touched today\". Treat\n suspicious zero clusters in the Advanced tier as intentional\n data-cleaning exercise material.\n\n## Composition\n\n- **Entities.** Accounts, contacts, leads, touches, sessions,\n sales_activities, opportunities (public); plus customers and\n subscriptions (instructor only). Per-row counts per bundle live in\n `manifest.json`.\n- **Features.** 31 public columns grouped by analytical role in\n [`docs/release/feature_dictionary.md`](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/feature_dictionary.md);\n the per-bundle `feature_dictionary.csv` is the authoritative\n machine-readable spec.\n- **Label.** `converted_within_90_days` (boolean), event-derived from\n the simulator. Never sampled directly.\n- **Splits.** 70/15/15 train/valid/test, deterministic given seed;\n recorded in `tasks/converted_within_90_days/task_manifest.json`.\n Splits are keyed on `lead_id`; see the *Evaluation note* above for\n the account-overlap caveat.\n- **Provenance.** Recipe `b2b_saas_procurement_v1`, seed 42, package\n version stamped in `manifest.json`.\n\n## Maintenance, adversarial framing, license\n\nWe *want* the dataset to be broken. The\n[break-me guide](https://github.com/leadforge-dev/leadforge/blob/main/docs/release/break_me_guide.md) catalogues\nnine adversarial patterns to look for (leakage, split\ncontamination, ranking inversions, calibration drift) with\nworked-example pointers back into the notebooks.
