Analyze this pulse survey (3 questions):
1. "I would recommend this company" - 62% favorable (down 8%)
2. "I have what I need to do my job" - 71% favorable (up 3%)
3. "I feel valued" - 48% favorable (down 12%)

Output:

## Pulse Survey Quick Analysis

### Summary

| Metric | Current | Change | Status |
|--------|---------|--------|--------|
| eNPS Indicator | 62% | ↓ 8% | WARNING |
| Enablement | 71% | ↑ 3% | GOOD |
| Recognition | 48% | ↓ 12% | CRITICAL |

---

### Key Finding

**Recognition is in crisis** - 12-point drop is a red flag.
This is likely driving the eNPS decline.
