Notes:

When a new developer comes along and joins the team, we give them a file that has the basic adilas database structure. Once installed and ran, they then have to go in and run hundreds of update scripts to get the database up to speed. It literally takes them a couple of hours and tons of clicking to run through all of the older scripts, clear back from 2014 (6 years worth of updates).

This project would be to start with a brand new blank database (from the existing files), run it, then run all updates until a certain time, and then resave the original developer database file out with all of the updated changes. We would then set a date and only require the new developers to run update scripts beyond that point. It would make a much better starting point without us having to pay a new developer hours of clicking and updating to get their development environment up and fully to speed.

As a side note, we have to do the same thing on the live production servers if starting from scratch. Basically, bring the staring point or from scratch point up higher and trim off hours of running updates and older modification scripts.
