Problem

Write a SQL query to find the monthly retention rate of borrowers who have taken out multiple loans with Upstart.

Use funded loans only. A borrower is retained for a month if they have another funded loan in the immediately following calendar month. Include only borrowers with at least two funded loans overall.

Output

  1. One row per activity month with month_start, retained_borrowers, eligible_borrowers, and retention_rate
  2. Include months containing eligible borrower activity, including months with zero retention
  3. Calculate retention_rate as a percentage rounded to two decimal places
  4. Sort by month_start ascending
