This zone contains the experiment dataset selected by the user during the **Dataiku Application Setup**.

Depending on the data source, two modes are supported:  

- **Uploaded data**: A CSV file uploaded by the user becomes the `uploaded_experiment_dataset`, which is then synchronized into the `experiment_dataset`.  
- **Connected dataset**: A dataset selected from another project is **shared** and then synchronized into the `experiment_dataset`, ensuring the flow always works with up-to-date data without modifying the original dataset.

The resulting `experiment_dataset` is automatically placed in this zone and aligned to the same connection.

Then, the **Sort recipe** orders the data by the date column specified in the **Dataiku Application Setup**. This step is required to compute the subgroups used in the SPC charts.

The first Python recipe generates the necessary data for visualization on the first dashboard page. The second Python recipe computes the capability metrics and configures the charts for the second dashboard page.

⚠️ The  **Sync recipe**  in this zone is generated and maintained automatically. We strongly advise against manually editing or moving it, as this may disrupt the automation logic.
