Interview Prompt

How does each tracked allocation in `cost_allocs`, meaning one that carries a billing account, stack up against the largest untracked (no-account) allocation on its team and against that team's average tracked allocation? A FinOps analyst wants the untracked peak beside every tracked amount as a leakage benchmark.

Summary

Individual spend versus team average.

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
