Interview Prompt

The data-quality team's triage sheet keeps flagging the same tables in `dq_checks`, yet a few catastrophic runs drag each table's average failure percentage far from what a typical check on it sees. Report every table with the median `fail_pct` across its checks.

Summary

Half the tables fail more than this.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write and run your SQL against a real database
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
