Rank Top Product Segments

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

CNA wants to compare product segments using policy premium and incurred loss data. Write a PostgreSQL query that ranks the top three qualifying segments by total annual premium.

Requirements

  1. Join products, policies, and policy claim summaries.
  2. Include only policies effective in 2025 with policy_status = 'Active' and positive annual premium.
  3. Use a CTE to calculate policy count, total premium, total incurred loss, and loss ratio by product segment. Treat missing incurred loss as zero.
  4. Use RANK() to return all segments within the top three ranks, requiring at least two qualifying policies per segment. Sort by rank and total premium descending.
