// Analyze department distribution
const analyzeCompanyStructure = (employeeData) => {
  const departments = employeeData.departments;
  const total = employeeData.total_employees;
  
  const analysis = {
    engineeringRatio: (departments.engineering / total * 100).toFixed(1),
    salesRatio: (departments.sales / total * 100).toFixed(1),
    isEngineeringHeavy: departments.engineering > departments.sales,
    isSalesHeavy: departments.sales > departments.engineering,
