Problem

How would you handle a dataset where 30% of the entries are missing critical information at American Credit Acceptance?

For this exercise, evaluate completeness for each loan application source. Treat NULL or blank employment status, and NULL values in income, requested amount, or credit score as missing critical information.

Output

  1. One row per application source, including applications with no matching source.
  2. Columns: source_name, total_entries, missing_entries, and missing_percentage.
  3. Sort by missing percentage descending, then source name ascending.
