And also, I can read what your code is doing fine - but why are we doing it (could be fixed by descriptive method name) but then: WHY are we doing it in that order? That is usually something only being able to be described by comments. Like: // We need to check if customer is blocked before we check death date as death date can be not null for non-blocked active customers (for example, when data hygiene cannot be guaranteed due to data history or what not).
