How to "sync view" RAW and JPG?

There are two files - RAW and JPG. How to make the "starting point of processing" RAW such that it looks like a photo in JPG?
The RAW file initially looks more faded, because it is not covered by in-camera processing. The JPG version of the image looks good, but it has flaws that would be very easy to fix in RAW. But here's how to make RAW look like JPG (manually bringing RAW to JPG is very difficult)? Synchronize settings somehow.

Hello,
1. In-camera processing in JPG depends on the camera settings (white balance, sharpness, type of image, etc.) and after pressing the button, a RAW (raw image) is created in the camera and immediately after it, the camera processor, using these settings, forms a JPG . Depending on the camera model, only JPG or only RAW or RAW+JPG may be saved.
2. Along with the camera, a program is also distributed, for example, DPP from CANON, which, in fact, can make JPG from RAW automatically, using exactly the camera settings that were determined during the shooting. If the machine does not satisfy, then you can independently twist all sorts of sliders and “pull out” RAW as your heart desires. But, inside the programs from manufacturers, it is possible to automate processing in batch mode, both according to the camera settings and according to your own. We created a kind of "pulling" algorithm and then applied it to a bunch of RAWs.
And the "faded" RAW is because, roughly speaking, "everything is in zeros" is a raw picture. Do, for example, sharpness = 5, saturation = 7, etc. and RAW is no longer "faded".
PS You can play with RAW "to the point of stupor" :-) and after a while it gets so boring that you practically stop shooting in RAW.

I know how it usually sounds, but I'll say it anyway: you don't need it. Most editors for "developing" RAW have, in one form or another, buttons for automatically setting settings or reading camera settings from image metadata. Find them in the editor you use, or choose an editor that suits you (including software supplied by the camera manufacturer). Even better, if you just learn to immediately shoot what you need, so as not to waste time on the notorious processing, which everyone is crazy about and considers it a necessary attribute of a "real photographer". The latter does not apply to areas such as shooting weddings, events and sports, but that's another story altogether.
