Examples, experiments and workspace controls
Live values

Connect a tool's inputs to see what it produces. You can try a branch before connecting it to Result.

Try your own inputs

Use a copy of the example to try your own data. Keep the problem's assumptions in mind, and predict the effect of a change before checking the output. You can also add another branch to compare two ways of doing the calculation.

Start at an output arrow, then click or drag to an input. Drag empty space to pan. Delete removes a selection. Ctrl/Cmd+Z undoes a change.
Context for this challenge

Build the finding filter and inspect its rows before connecting the sum.

The report needs known minutes from loose-component visits, without treating missing time as zero.

Try a fresh construction

This clears this draft, including its undo history. Earlier successful attempts stay recorded. Build again without opening hints to record an independent attempt.

Stuck? Inspect a worked construction

The tools below form one possible solution. You can assemble it, follow its signals, and undo that change to return to your own construction.

Assumptions and test precision

The workshop calculates over small record lists to make the relational operations visible. It is not a SQL parser or query planner. The worksheet runs SQLite and is the authority for SQL behaviour, including types and NULL. Numerical tests allow a difference of 0.001. Lists and structures must also have the right shape.

Your last tested pieces can start the full construction. An existing draft there keeps its own pieces.

A known zero differs from an entirely unknown total

This check uses the pieces from “Summarise the intended population”.

BOTIE

One loose visit records zero minutes and another loose visit is missing its duration. A clear visit records 90. Predict the total of known loose-visit minutes.
Inspection visits
[
  {
    "inspection_id": 1,
    "finding": "loose",
    "minutes": 0
  },
  {
    "inspection_id": 2,
    "finding": "loose",
    "minutes": null
  },
  {
    "inspection_id": 3,
    "finding": "clear",
    "minutes": 90
  }
]

Use a number, text, or an array matching the requested result. For a matrix, put each row in brackets. Saving your prediction runs your current construction on these inputs and checks the earlier examples too.

Build a construction in the workspace above first. This case will test those pieces.

Which pair of counts would expose how many visit durations are missing?

Report COUNT(*) and COUNT(value) when measurement coverage matters.
