DataPrep-Bench unifies evaluation of data preparation pipelines—construction (raw→training data) and quality scoring (predicts downstream utility)—with two released tools: Data-Construction-Skill agent (+20pts on Finance) and Distributional Alignment Score (DAS) metric correlating r>0.70 across Math/Science/Medical domains.
Summary
Developers building data pipelines now have a shared downstream-grounded protocol to measure whether their data prep actually improves model performance, replacing ad-hoc quality heuristics with benchmarked construction methods and correlation-validated scoring functions.

Implementation verdict
Replaces custom data-prep evaluation with DataPrep-Bench's six-domain test suite; Data-Construction-Skill agent and DAS metric are released. Requires fine-tuning base models on prepared data to score construction outputs. Ready now as a benchmark framework, though integration into existing pipelines requires wiring Pearson correlation validation into candidate dataset selection.
