    "description": "Narrative on key hiring difficulties, attrition concerns, comp-market pressure, and market-driven talent risks that the board should weigh in on or be aware of. The \"watch this\" companion to `hr.talent_highlights`. Common pitfall: sanitizing this section to avoid uncomfortable conversations — but talent challenges are precisely where boards add the most value (warm intros, comp benchmarking, executive search). Best practice is to name the specific role, team, or risk and the ask explicitly.",
