Problem

Context

Recurring abuse reporting matters because operations teams need a repeatable way to identify patterns, prioritize risky accounts, and monitor whether interventions are reducing repeat incidents over time.

Question

Walk through how you would structure a SQL-based report to track recurring abuse incidents across Klaviyo accounts. Explain what grain you would choose for the report, how you would define a recurring incident, and how you would use SQL to summarize repeat behavior over time. You should also describe what dimensions and metrics you would include so the report is useful for both day-to-day review and trend analysis.

Scope guidance

The interviewer is looking for a practical reporting design answer rather than a single query. Focus on how you would model the logic in PostgreSQL, including how you would use CTEs, date functions, and aggregations to build a reliable recurring-abuse view.
