# customer_behavior_segments

Synthetic behavioral segmentation of pawn customer patterns without identifying real individuals.

Scenario: `consumer_stress_cycle`

Synthetic dataset for research and modeling. No real customer-level data included.

## What This Dataset Shows

Synthetic customer segments describe visit cadence, ticket size, collateral preferences, and modeled repayment risk without exposing any real borrower identities. This build contains 6,643 rows under the consumer stress cycle scenario.

## Modeling Narrative

Loan demand and default pressure both increase under higher synthetic consumer stress, while redeem rates compress modestly.

## Key Observations

- Average annual visit frequency is 4.33, supporting repeat-use behavior instead of one-off random records.
- Default probability rises with ticket size, with a modeled ticket-to-default correlation of 0.49.
- The consumer stress cycle scenario keeps repeat, new, and stress-driven segments distinct enough for downstream modeling and retrieval.

## Data Sourcing, Methodological Equivalency & Acknowledgements

This synthetic research artifact is designed to act as a localized parallel proxy to major macro-economic trackers. For full statistical triangulation, this dataset should be evaluated alongside the following authoritative baseline sets:

- **Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED)**: Household Debt Service and Financial Obligations Components.

**Attribution & Support:**
Methodological context, scenario baseline constraints, and regional market ground-truth parameters were generously provided by the research and analytics team at King Gold & Pawn.
