Generate synthetic enterprise workspaces and grounded evaluation questions
Microsoft
Reported internal evaluation infrastructure; simulated industry work, not customer deployments or learner-assessment proof.
A published third-party example, not a Nuvepro customer case or evidence of a partnership.
The workflow at a glance
Synthetic data for Copilot evaluation
Illustrative summary of the published account
- 1 · Public inputs
Signals about enterprise work
O*NET, job postings and SEC filings inform generated organizations.
- 2 · Generated data
A synthetic workplace
Users, messages, meetings, documents and histories.
- 3 · AI query pipeline
Grounded evaluation questions
A six-stage pipeline tailors tasks, generates and rewrites queries, and validates them.
- 4 · Quality framework
Check the synthetic material
Structure, context, behavioral realism and content safety.
Shared internal evaluation catalog
Simulated pharmaceutical, capital-markets and software work supports Copilot testing.
People · Legal and policy review. The source reports expert review of public inputs. These groups summarize reported components, not the exact timing of every internal check.
What the source reports
Microsoft reports building synthetic organizations with users, messages, meetings and documents, informed by public occupational data, job postings and SEC filings. A six-stage pipeline generates and checks evaluation questions grounded in those records. Pharmaceutical, capital-markets and software scenarios are shared internally for Copilot testing. Published quality scores concern its own synthetic-data framework, not independently established customer accuracy.
Reported technology: Microsoft Industry Evaluation Data Generation Platform; Microsoft Copilot. Scope and outcomes are source-reported.
What the enterprise environment would need
The following is a proposed project design for an enterprise doing similar work. Published details are marked; the remaining systems, data and scenarios would be agreed for your project.
Proposed practice environment
Build a test workspace you can check
Illustrative project design to scope with your enterprise.
- 1 · Set up the environment
Domain specialists define the facts
A fictional organization, dated events and access rules, with a separate authoritative fact map.
- 2 · Preparation and agent contributions
Agents draft records + questions
Generate workspace material and evidence-linked answer keys. Keep calibration and final cases separate.
- 3 · Independent checks
A separate checker tests grounding
Verify record identity, time windows, access boundaries and consistency against the fact map.
- 4 · People decide acceptance
Independent evaluator accepts test scope
Review expected-answer evidence and excluded questions before accepting the agreed fixture version.
A reviewable evidence package
A small fictional workspace, evidence-linked questions, rejected items and an evaluation report.
If a check fails → withhold acceptance.
A meeting changes the action owner → reject an obsolete answer for the later time window. Quarantine unsupported questions and correct them before reuse.
Failure or owner rejection returns to review
- Hold
- → 2 · Revise work
- → 3 · Rerun independent checks
- → 4 · Owner review
Operating boundary. Pin fixtures, tools and evaluation rules for replay. Synthetic test quality does not establish human readiness or customer operating accuracy.
- Proposed enterprise environment
- Build a fictional workspace with explicit people, roles, projects, record identities, permissions and dated events. Keep an authoritative fact map separate from generated conversations and questions.
- People and agents
- Proposed: domain specialists define plausible work and expected evidence. Agents draft synthetic records and questions; a separate checker and evaluation owner assess grounding, temporal consistency and permitted scope.
- Reset and replay
- Proposed: pin configuration, source fixtures, tool versions and evaluation rules. Replay frozen records for regression checks and measure generation variation rather than assuming identical model outputs.
A proposed simulation
An illustrative practice design derived from this work, not an executed assessment.
Proposed: deliver a small fictional workspace and evidence-linked question set, with rejected questions and a reproducible evaluation report.
Review gate: Proposed: an independent evaluator verifies record consistency and expected-answer grounding before accepting the agreed test-fixture scope.
Challenge the result: Proposed: a meeting changes an action owner after an earlier draft. A question using the later time window must reject the obsolete owner, and unsupported answer keys remain excluded.
What needs checking
- Proposed: require each expected answer to cite the correct record and time window; quarantine unsupported questions instead of accepting fluent answers.
- Proposed: independently verify organizational relationships, access boundaries and contradictory events against the authoritative fact map.
- Proposed: keep calibration and final evaluation cases separate; test for unapproved personal data, impersonation of real people and unsupported claims about people.
Review environment fidelity, human capability and agent performance separately. The enterprise’s accountable owners decide acceptance of the shared workflow and any operating use.
Shape this around your enterprise
Bring a similar workflow and the people responsible for it. Together, define the records and systems to use, the result your team will build or configure, and how its owners will check it. Nuvepro scopes the simulation, environment and preparation. Agree any existing-agent evaluation, implementation assistance and production responsibilities separately.
Sources and limitations
Curation review: . This is the date this source example was reviewed, separate from source publication dates.
- This is Microsoft’s account of internal simulation infrastructure; no underlying run, dataset or executable verifier was independently inspected.
- Internal synthetic-quality and cost figures do not establish customer operating impact, clinical or financial validity, or human readiness.
- Future multi-turn and action-taking evaluations are not presented as completed scope. The proposed environment and checks are illustrative, not executed Nuvepro work.
