Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> physical/clinical work (Note: Corrected to 'physical/operational work' contextually, but strictly following schema options, this role is 'physical/clinical work' is incorrect. The schema option 'physical/clinical work' is a catch-all for non-digital physical roles. I will use 'physical/operational' if allowed, but the prompt says 'one of: ... physical/clinical work'. I must stick to the list. This role is physical/operational. I will map it to the closest valid option or omit if none fit perfectly. Actually, looking at the list: 'production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work'. This is a manufacturing role. 'physical/clinical work' is the only physical option. I will use it as the closest fit for non-digital physical labor, or better yet, since the instruction says 'one of', I must choose one. 'physical/clinical work' is the only one that isn't software/research. I will use it.) -> Wait, re-reading the prompt's allowed list: 'production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work'. This is a manufacturing role. It involves physical work. I will select 'physical/clinical work' as the only physical option available in the strict list, acknowledging it's a broad category.
