In this tutorial, we build a complete, production-grade synthetic data pipeline using CTGAN<\/strong><\/a> and the SDV ecosystem. We start from raw mixed-type tabular data and progressively move toward constrained generation, conditional sampling, statistical validation, and downstream utility testing. Rather than stopping at sample generation, we focus on understanding how well synthetic data preserves structure, distributions, and predictive signal. This tutorial demonstrates how CTGAN can be used responsibly and rigorously in real-world data science workflows.<\/p>\n
