Benchmarking Challenges (Synthetic)

Simulation Targets

For internal testing, we target the following simulation profiles:

  • Depth: Low (10x), Medium (100x), High (1000x)
  • Diversity: Isolate, Defined Community (10), Complex Community (100+)
  • Abundance: Even, Random, Log-normal (staggered)
