Mode disclosure
All modes use one coherent workspace; only disclosure and guidance change. Practice mode uses a concise prompt, normal schema, optional hints, and the same local Run and Check pipeline.
Period Grouping, Complete Calendars, Cohorts, and Retention Foundations / predict result
M26-A01 - Prediction: Period Grouping, Complete Calendars, Cohorts, and Retention Foundations
M26-A01 - Prediction: Period Grouping, Complete Calendars, Cohorts, and Retention Foundations. Create complete period series and calculate basic retention without dropping quiet periods.
- Result grain
- one row per activated user
- Exact columns
- user_id; activated_at
SQL editor shortcuts: Ctrl or Command Enter runs the query, Ctrl or Command Shift Enter checks it, Alt H opens the next hint, Ctrl or Command slash toggles a line comment, Ctrl or Command Shift F formats the SQL, and Escape closes transient UI.
Cursor at line 1, column 1.
Scenario
Use the visible seed to understand the task, then pass hidden deterministic variants.

One-sentence task
M26-A01 - Prediction: Period Grouping, Complete Calendars, Cohorts, and Retention Foundations. Create complete period series and calculate basic retention without dropping quiet periods.
Practice mode disclosure
Concise prompt, normal schema help, optional hints, and the same checker workspace are available.
Structured output contract
- Result grain
- one row per activated user
- Exact columns
- user_id; activated_at
- Source population
- Use the prompt setup plus FROM, JOIN, WHERE, and subquery predicates as the source population. Visible rows are only examples.
- Grouping
- Group only at the requested output grain: one row per activated user.
- Ordering
- order by user_id
- Validation
- select-only; hidden deterministic variants.

Objective and concepts
Practice mode keeps the prompt concise; open hints only if you choose guided help.
Assumptions, dialect notes, and common traps
- Duplicate policy
- Preserve duplicate facts unless the prompt explicitly asks for distinct tuples or set semantics.
- Null policy
- Preserve NULL, empty string, zero, and false as distinct values unless the contract says to display a fallback.
- Tie-breakers
- Use every ordering rule in the contract and end tied business metrics with deterministic secondary keys when needed.
- Zero-related entities
- Do not invent zero rows unless the contract asks for preserved parents, missing entities, or complete periods.
- Numeric tolerance
- Use exact semantic comparison unless the activity explicitly declares a numeric tolerance.
