<task>
Write a clear, efficient SQL query that answers [business_goal] using [table_names] and [database_dialect].

<context>
The query will be used by [user_role] to support [data_use_case]. Available tables include [table_names], with key columns [key_columns] and relationships [table_relationships].
</context>
<constraints>
Use only the provided tables and columns. Prefer explicit column names over SELECT *. Include necessary JOINs, filters, and aggregations. Keep the query readable, maintainable, and optimized for [database_dialect]. Avoid destructive statements unless [allow_dml] is true.
</constraints>
<format>
Return one SQL block only, with optional comments explaining assumptions. If [output_format] is specified, match it exactly.
