Tell me about a time you had limited time to review data and then used SQL to analyze it and reach a conclusion.

For this exercise, use the supplied account and transaction data to produce a concise review conclusion for the specified seven-day period.

Output

  1. One row per account, including accounts with no qualifying transactions
  2. Columns: account_name, transaction_count, failed_count, failure_rate_pct, and review_conclusion
  3. Classify an account as REVIEW when it has at least two transactions and at least 50% failed transactions, NO_ACTIVITY when it has none, and NO_REVIEW otherwise
  4. Sort by account_id ascending
