Your question is Top Segments by Retention Rate. Start with the requirements and the three tables on the right.

Run and submit as often as you like. When you're ready, talk me through your approach or go straight to the code.

You need to log in / sign up to run or submit.

Problem

Write a SQL query to identify the top 5 user segments by retention rate.

Use 30-day retention, defined as a user completing activity during the 30th through 60th day after signup. Include users whose signup date is on or before 2025-02-28 so every user has a complete retention window.

Output

  1. One row per segment, with segment_name, eligible_users, retained_users, and retention_rate.
  2. Include only segments with at least one eligible user.
  3. Return the five highest retention rates first, breaking ties by more eligible users and then alphabetically by segment name.
