Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> production ML models (Incorrect mapping in thought, correcting to actual deliverable: production ML models is wrong, it's production ML models? No, it's visual effects shots. The schema options are: production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work. None fit perfectly. 'product features' is closest for 'shots' in a broad sense, but 'infrastructure' or 'client delivery' are also off. Let's look at the options again. 'production ML models' is specific to AI. 'product features' is software. 'dashboards & analysis' is data. 'research' is R&D. 'client delivery' is services. 'infrastructure' is backend. 'physical/clinical work' is hardware/med. This is a creative industry role. The closest semantic match for 'creating shots' is often mapped to 'product features' in these schemas if 'content' isn't an option, OR 'infrastructure' if it's about the pipeline. However, the prompt says 'Extract only facts... do NOT infer'. The text says 'generates FX animation... for feature film'. I will map this to 'product features' as it represents the output artifact, or perhaps the schema is rigid. Let's re-read the schema options. 'production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work'. This is a standard set for tech. A VFX TD creates 'shots'. This is not a standard fit. I will choose 'product features' as the artifact being built, or 'infrastructure' if focusing on the pipeline. The text emphasizes 'FX animation', 'simulation'. I will select 'product features' as the closest proxy for 'creative assets/shots' in this constrained list, or 'client delivery' if viewed as a service. Actually, looking at the list, none are perfect. I will use 'product features' as the output of the work.
