  includeTranscripts: context.includeCallReview
})
```

### Step 3: Get Performance Benchmarks

  compareTo: ["team_avg", "top_performer", "historical_self"],
  metrics: [
    "win_rate",
    "avg_deal_size",
    "sales_cycle",
    "activity_metrics",
    "conversion_rates"

  callIds: recentCalls.map(c => c.id),
  analysis: [
    "talk_ratio",

    "quota_attainment",
    "pipeline_generation",
    "stage_conversion",
    "forecast_accuracy"
  ],
  trend: "quarterly"
})
```

### Step 6: Generate Coaching Insights

```
ai.generate_coaching({
  repProfile: {
    id: context.repId,
    tenure: rep.tenure,
    segment: rep.segment,
    previousCoaching: rep.coachingHistory
  },
  performanceData: {
    deals: dealOutcomes,
    activities: activityPatterns,
    benchmarks: repVsBenchmarks,
    callAnalysis: callInsights
  },
  coachingFocus: context.coachingArea || "all",
  format: {
    includeExamples: true,
    includeCallClips: context.includeCallReview,
    actionOriented: true
  }
})
```

### Step 7: Calculate Skill Scores

```javascript
function calculateSkillScores(callAnalysis, dealOutcomes, benchmarks) {
  return {
    discovery: {
      score: calculateDiscoveryScore(callAnalysis),
      components: {
        questionQuality: callAnalysis.avgQuestionScore,
        activeListening: callAnalysis.listenRatio,
        needIdentification: dealOutcomes.needsCapturedRate
      }
    },
    qualification: {
      score: calculateQualificationScore(dealOutcomes),
      components: {
        frameworkAdherence: dealOutcomes.meddpiccCompleteness,
        icpAlignment: dealOutcomes.icpFitRate,
        disqualificationRate: dealOutcomes.appropriateDisqualRate
      }
    },

        responseQuality: callAnalysis.objectionResponseScore,
        empathy: callAnalysis.empathyScore,
        resolution: callAnalysis.objectionResolutionRate
      }
    },
    negotiation: {

        discountManagement: dealOutcomes.avgDiscountVsTarget,
        valueDefense: dealOutcomes.priceObjectionWinRate,
        dealSize: dealOutcomes.avgDealSizeVsBenchmark
      }
    },
    closing: {
      score: calculateClosingScore(callAnalysis, dealOutcomes),
      components: {
        trialClose: callAnalysis.trialCloseFrequency,
        nextSteps: callAnalysis.clearNextStepsRate,
        winRate: dealOutcomes.winRate
      }
    }
  };
}
```

### Step 8: Generate Specific Recommendations

```javascript
function generateCoachingRecommendations(skills, callHighlights) {
  const recommendations = [];
  
  // Find biggest gaps
  const gaps = Object.entries(skills)
    .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')
    }))
  };
}
```

### Step 9: Send Coaching

```
messaging.send_coaching({
  repId: context.repId,
  channel: "email",
  subject: "Your Weekly Sales Coaching Insights",
  content: coachingReport,
  includeCallClips: true,
  scheduleFollowUp: addDays(today, 7)
