Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> physical/clinical work (Note: Corrected to 'physical/clinical work' based on the allowed list, but the actual deliverable is physical production. The allowed list is restrictive. Let's map 'physical/clinical work' as the closest fit for 'physical production' or simply omit if strict. However, the instruction says 'one of: ...'. 'physical/clinical work' is the only one fitting 'physical production'. I will use it as the closest semantic match for 'physical work' in manufacturing.) -> Actually, looking at the list: 'production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work'. The role is about physical production. 'physical/clinical work' is the only option that isn't software/research. I will use 'physical/clinical work' as a placeholder for 'physical production' or better, re-read the instruction. 'Deliverable: <one of: ...>'. The role produces physical goods. 'physical/clinical work' is the only category that fits 'physical'. I will use it.
