Data Retention Policy Simulator

 Create a Data Retention Policy Simulator that models how configurable retention and deletion rules affect records across databases, file storage, logs, analytics datasets, and backups. Let users define data categories, creation dates, retention periods, legal holds, deletion dependencies, and exceptions. Run a simulation against an imported data inventory and show which records would be retained, anonymized, archived, or marked for deletion under each policy. Generate an impact report, exception queue, and evidence log explaining every proposed action. Support dry-run mode and approval gates before execution. Do not claim legal compliance automatically, and explicitly flag unresolved backup, legal-hold, and downstream-copy dependencies.
