  // Find biggest gaps

    .filter(([_, data]) => data.score < 70)
    .sort((a, b) => a[1].score - b[1].score);
  
  gaps.forEach(([skill, data]) => {
    const weakestComponent = Object.entries(data.components)
      .sort((a, b) => a[1] - b[1])[0];
    
    recommendations.push({
      skill,
      currentScore: data.score,
      targetScore: 75,
      focus: weakestComponent[0],
      coaching: getCoachingForSkill(skill, weakestComponent[0]),
      example: findCallExample(callHighlights, skill, 'improvement'),
      practice: getPracticeActivity(skill)
    });
  });
  
  // Also include strengths
  const strengths = Object.entries(skills)
    .filter(([_, data]) => data.score >= 80)
    .sort((a, b) => b[1].score - a[1].score);
  
  return {
    improvementAreas: recommendations.slice(0, 3),
    strengths: strengths.map(([skill, data]) => ({
      skill,
      score: data.score,
      example: findCallExample(callHighlights, skill, 'positive')
