  2. Columns: branch_name, month, transaction_count, employees_involved, total_amount, average_amount, high_value_transactions
  3. Include completed transactions with null amounts in the transaction count, but exclude null amounts from amount aggregates
  4. Order by month ascending, then branch name ascending
