   Although free of charge, the ADVANCE data can not be downloaded automatically.
   This source requires that users first submit personal information to register before being able to retrieve the data.
   :mod:`message_ix_models` does not circumvent this requirement.
   Thus:

   - A copy of the data are stored in :mod:`message_data`.
   - :mod:`message_ix_models` contains only a ‘fuzzed’ version of the data (same structure, random values) for testing purposes.
