Comparing value from two objects based on another field

Hi Splunk experts, 

My events have a timeline that tells me how long certain operations took. What I'm trying to determine is how frequently "item_B" has a longer duration than "item_C". The array is not guaranteed to have the same order every time so I need to access each object in the array by the "label" field.

Any suggestions?

 

 

timeline":[
   {
      "label":"item_A",
      "duration":1
   },
   {
      "label":"item_B",
      "duration":955,
   },
   {
      "label":"item_C",
      "duration":0,
   },
   {
      "label":"item_D",
      "duration":55,
   }
]
