Assesment

1. Data Sync Design

Using CampaignData_1 and CampaignData_2, design a data sync logic:
- Merge data by io_id
- Track status and spend changes
- Highlight discrepancies in budget vs. actual spend
- Output should include: io_id, campaign_name, status_old, status_new, budget, actual_spend, and change_flag

2. Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

Using the merged data, identify:
- Which campaign overspent?
- What was the potential cause?
- What steps would you take to prevent this?

3. Change Tracker
Implement logic to flag campaigns whose:
- Delivery status changed
- Actual spend exceeded budget by over 10%

4. Script Optimization
Describe how you would optimize a sync process that runs for over 50 minutes.
- Script limitations
- Optimization strategies (e.g., batch operations)
- How you'd test and measure improvements

5. Dashboard Planning
Using any of the sheets:
- Propose key KPIs for tracking campaign performance and team compliance
- Suggest layout and tools (e.g., Google Sheets, Looker)

6. Multi-Campaign Reporting
Using Lifecycle_Data, organize a reporting view that:
- Separates PG, Direct IO, and PMP campaigns
- Tracks current vs. past campaigns

7. Audit-Ready Systems
List practices you follow to ensure:
- Someone else can pick up your data/process work
- Scripts and trackers are understandable
