# Understanding Pulse Intelligence

> How to run and interpret your first AI workforce analysis

# Understanding Pulse Intelligence

Pulse Intelligence is Senzo's AI-powered workforce analysis engine. It synthesizes all of your workforce metrics into a structured brief — surfacing warnings, strengths, wellbeing risks, and recommended actions automatically.

## Running Pulse Intelligence

Navigate to **Pulse Intelligence** in the sidebar. Click **Re-run Pulse** in the top right corner.

Pulse Intelligence analyzes your most recent period's data and generates a complete brief. This typically takes 15–30 seconds.

<Info>
  Pulse Intelligence runs against your most recently uploaded data. If you've just completed your first upload, run Pulse now to see your first analysis.

## Reading the output

### Analysis Summary

The top of the report shows:

* **Date range analyzed** — the period covered
* **Risk Level** — Overall, Low, Moderate, or High based on the number and severity of findings
* **Summary statement** — a one-line description of overall workforce health

### Warnings

Warnings are conditions that exceed your configured thresholds — situations that warrant attention or action.

Each warning shows:

* **What was detected** — the metric and which units are affected
* **Current value vs threshold** — the gap between where you are and where the threshold sits
* **Duration** — how many consecutive months this condition has persisted
* **Status** — Stable, Improving, or Worsening based on trend direction
* **Breakdown by unit, provider type, and sector** — so you know exactly where to focus
* **Recommended Actions** — specific steps the AI suggests based on the finding

### Strengths

Strengths are areas where your workforce metrics are performing well relative to thresholds or benchmarks — healthy turnover offset by strong hiring, top-performing units, favorable trends.

These are worth noting as models for other parts of the organization.

### Wellbeing Risks

Units flagged for elevated burnout risk based on compounding signals — high overtime, elevated absence, and rising outflow occurring together in the same unit.

Each wellbeing risk shows a **Risk Score** (0–100) and the contributing factors.

### Workforce Snapshot

Below the AI findings, Pulse Intelligence shows the raw workforce state for the analyzed period:

* **Workforce Composition** — headcount, positions, FTE, vacancy
* **Hours Summary** — worked, overtime, agency, absence, scheduled
* **Workforce Flow** — inflow, outflow, transfers, net change
* **By Sector** — headcount, FTE, OT rate, absence, and turnover by clinical sector
* **By Unit** — the same breakdown at the unit level

## Exporting the report

Click **Export** in the top right to download the full Pulse Intelligence report as a PDF. This is formatted for board presentations and committee submissions.

## Re-running Pulse

Pulse Intelligence can be re-run at any time. Each run uses the most current data in the system. Re-running after a new data upload will reflect the new period's metrics.

<Tip>
  Pulse Intelligence runs are logged in your Activity Feed so your team can see when analyses were completed and who triggered them.
