## Summary

Microsoft Research says it built Industry Evaluation Data Generation Platform, which creates fully synthetic enterprise environments for testing Microsoft Copilot. The environments are grounded in public sources including O*NET occupational data, online job postings, and SEC filings, and automated content-safety checks screen the generated data for harmful or personally identifiable material.
