Problem

Socure needs to inspect completed Socure ID+ verification records in descending risk-score order. Write a PostgreSQL query that returns the single record ranked tenth among eligible verifications.

Requirements

  1. Join verification_records to applicants to include the applicant name.
  2. Consider only records with decision_status = 'completed' and product_surface = 'Socure ID+'.
  3. Rank records by risk_score descending, using verification_id ascending as a deterministic tie-breaker, then return rank 10.
