Waves of Galactic Spending :Analyze Customer Spending Momentum Across Monthly Tiers Advanced

Analyzing customer tiers to track rolling monthly purchase trends.

Xorthax wants to compare spending across customer groups. Divide customers with completed orders into four roughly equal-sized tiers based on their total completed-order spending. If totals tie, place the lower customer ID first. For each tier, calculate monthly spending using the quantities and unit prices in OrderDetails, its three-month rolling average, and the previous month’s rolling average. Assume all months have a completed order for each tier. Order by spending tier, then month.
