Abstract: Example embodiments involve a system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for behaviorally consistent data wrangling. A local client device selects a set of raw sample data from a remote datastore. A local execution engine then applies one or more local data wrangling operations to the raw sample data.
