      Current: Nested loops with O(n²) complexity
      Suggestion: Use hash map for O(n) lookup
      
      Example code:
      [AI-generated optimized version]
      
      Impact: 60% faster for large transactions
   
   2. Security Enhancement (High Priority)
      File: src/auth/validator.js:23
      
      Issue: User input not sanitized
      Risk: Potential SQL injection
      Suggestion: Use parameterized queries
      
      [AI-generated secure version]
   
   3. Code Duplication (Low Priority)
      Files: utils/formatters.js and helpers/format.js

**📅 Smart Meeting Scheduling**

AI finds optimal meeting times and reduces meeting overhead:

.. code-block:: text

   Smart Scheduler - "Architecture Review Meeting"
   
   Analyzing:
   - 6 participants' calendars
   - Focus time preferences
   - Time zone distribution
   - Meeting fatigue scores
   - Urgency level
   
   Optimal Time Suggestion:
   
   Thursday, Feb 1, 2:00-3:00 PM EST
   
   Why this time:
   ✅ All participants available
   ✅ After focus hours for 5/6 people
   ✅ Accounts for time zones (10 AM PST, 7 PM GMT)
   ✅ Low meeting density day for everyone
   ✅ Follows team's "no meetings Friday" preference
   
   Alternative Options:
   - Wed, Jan 31, 3:00 PM (1 person in focus time)
   - Thu, Feb 1, 4:00 PM (end of day, less ideal)
   
   Agenda Auto-Generated:
   Based on Slack discussion and related tasks
   
   1. Review current architecture (10 min)
   2. Discuss microservices proposal (20 min)
   3. Address security concerns (15 min)
   4. Decide on timeline (10 min)
   5. Assign action items (5 min)
   
   Pre-Meeting Prep:
   - @all: Review design doc

Advanced Analytics
==================

**🧪 Predictive Analytics Dashboard**

Forecast project outcomes with confidence intervals:

.. code-block:: text

   Predictive Analytics - Mobile App v2
   
   📊 Completion Forecast
   
   Most Likely: February 28, 2025
   Confidence: 75%
   
   Range:
   - Optimistic: February 24 (15% probability)
   - Likely: February 28 (75% probability)
   - Pessimistic: March 6 (10% probability)
   
   📈 Factors Influencing Timeline
   
   Positive:
   ✅ Team velocity stable at 26 tasks/week
   ✅ No major blockers currently
   ✅ Good test coverage reducing bugs
   
   Risk Factors:
   ⚠️ Payment API integration (unknown complexity)
   ⚠️ 1 team member PTO in 2 weeks
   ⚠️ Scope creep detected (3 new requests)
   
   💡 Recommendations to Hit Target:
   
   1. Lock scope NOW (high impact)
      → Defer new requests to v2.1
      → Reduces risk by 30%
   
   2. Pre-integrate payment API (medium impact)
      → Start sandbox testing this week
      → Reduces uncertainty
   
   3. Cross-train backup dev (low impact)
      → Mitigate PTO impact
      → Maintains velocity
