Test input: Best customers with unpaid-order and payment-method follow-ups · text · group: ecommerce-nl2sql-benchmark
Input — what we sent
The exact prompt
Who are my best customers — the ones who order the most and spend the most? Follow-up 1: For the top 3 from that list — do any of them have unpaid orders? Follow-up 2: What payment methods do these top 3 usually use?
A conversational multi-table customer analysis that identifies best customers by both order volume and spend, then drills into unpaid orders and payment methods for the top 3.
Why this input is hard
- · Ambiguous business-term interpretation
- · Multi-table joins across customers orders and payments
- · Aggregation and ranking
- · Follow-up context retention
- · Scoped drill-down to the top 3 customers
- · Readable customer-level output
Output — unretouched

Ambiguity Handling✓ WorkedHandled the ambiguous phrase by not collapsing it into one ranking; it produced separate order-count and total-spend rankings instead of guessing silently.Chart / Visualization Support✗ FailedVisualization did not auto-generate on this customer analysis flow; the report says it required an additional prompt every time.Follow-Up Context✓ WorkedKept the top-3 customer context across the follow-up chain by hardcoding the same three customer IDs into the unpaid-order check.Follow-Up Context✓ WorkedThe tool preserved conversational context across turns by reusing the previously identified top three customers in the unpaid-order follow-up.Plain English Query Handling✓ WorkedThe tool understood follow-up phrasing naturally, including 'For the top 3 from that list' and 'What payment methods do these top 3 usually use?'.Plain English Query Handling✓ WorkedAccepted an informal customer-analytics question and split it into two dimensions without requiring SQL: who orders most and who spends most.Result Readability✓ WorkedPresented the follow-up results as clearly labeled customer status blocks such as 'All Clear', '1 Unpaid', and 'All 4 Unpaid!', which makes the risk scan easy.Result Readability✓ WorkedThe customer ranking output was easy to scan because it separated frequent shoppers from highest spenders into clearly named tables with totals and ranks.SQL Generation✓ WorkedRan 2 SQL queries simultaneously for the main request, and then generated a filtered follow-up query for the exact top 3 customers.

Basedash✓ WorkedIt turns the ranking tables into a plain-English business takeaway by naming Rahul Sharma as the best overall customer, Mohan Vishe as the most frequent buyer, and Deepak Kulkarni as the biggest spender.Definite✓ WorkedIt added useful follow-up commentary by flagging Rahul Sharma's unpaid $2,199 order as worth chasing because he was #2 by spend, and by linking that unpaid order to his payment behavior as likely an oversight rather than a pattern.
