[Intro: Female Lead]
At eight, the raw result was forty-two.
By nine, the slide announced a brighter view.
Two teams removed, three questions weighted new:
Engagement Score Seventy-Two.

[Verse 1: Female Lead]
Victor tapped the laser on the chart.
Forty percent had checked, "I may leave."
He circled forty, called it "strong response,"
then cropped the line that showed what they believed.
"Exhausted" changed to "ready to improve."
The bars turned green without a single move.

[Pre-Chorus: Male Baritone]
"The story lands much better now."

[Pre-Chorus: Female Lead]
He raised his cup. The board began to clap.

[Chorus: Female Lead]
Engagement Score Seventy-Two,
paint the warning signs a calmer blue.
Half say, "I'm done," but the deck looks new.
Engagement Score Seventy-Two.
Move the baseline, drop the comments too;
a falling number rises when you choose.

[Verse 2: Female Lead]
Nina wrote, "My pager sleeps beside me."
A warehouse supervisor said three had left.
One line said, "Management does not care."
The summary called it "room for leadership."
I opened every comment they had buried.
The plainest words left nothing to debate.

[Pre-Chorus: Female Lead]
I asked what action followed what they'd heard.

[Pre-Chorus: Male Baritone]
"First, fix the score. Then we can fix the words."

[Chorus: Female Lead]
Engagement Score Seventy-Two,
paint the warning signs a calmer blue.
Half say, "I'm done," but the deck looks new.
Engagement Score Seventy-Two.
Move the baseline, drop the comments too;
a falling number rises when you choose.

[Piano Interlude: Dry Upright Piano]

[Bridge: Female Lead]
When every boardroom monitor went black,
I printed what the polished deck held back.
One hundred voices, dated, blunt and clear,
filled forty pages no score could disappear.

[Build: Female Lead with Gang Vocals]
Seventy-two did not work till dawn.
Seventy-two cannot tell who's gone.
Seventy-two did not make that choice.
A number cannot answer for a voice.

[Final Chorus: Female Lead with Gang Vocals]
Engagement Score Seventy-Two,
keep your weighted chart and filtered view.
Half said, "I'm done." I kept their wording too.
Engagement Score Seventy-Two.
The number on the cover belongs to you;
the voices never did, and never do.

[Outro: Female Lead]
The deck went out at half past four.
I kept the pages by the door.
Engagement Score Seventy-Two.
