Output

  1. Return store_code, week_start, weekly_revenue, units_sold, average_inventory, stockout_days, labor_hours, sales_per_labor_hour, and revenue_change_pct.
  2. Include one row per store and week represented in sales, with unavailable supporting metrics as NULL where appropriate.
  3. Order by store_code, then week_start ascending.
