Interview Prompt

We're planning loyalty outreach around whoever spends the most in each product category, where every purchase in `transactions` counts toward a customer's total in the category its product carries in `products`. Return each category's top spender with that total.

Summary

In every aisle, one customer outspends the rest. Find them.

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
