Why random.randint(300, 850) is a bad fake credit score

A new Faker provider, faker-credit-score, generates realistic credit scores for Python tests instead of hardcoded values or broad random ranges.

It models real scoring systems such as FICO, VantageScore, and bureau-specific ranges like Equifax Beacon 5.0.

The tool also supports score tiers, includes bureau and model metadata, and can classify existing scores.

Using model-accurate fake scores helps catch boundary, validation, and branch logic bugs that simplistic test fixtures often miss.
