production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> dashboards & analysis (Note: This is a non-technical role, so 'dashboards & analysis' is the closest fit for 'learning plans/progress tracking' in the schema, but strictly speaking, the role produces 'instructional content' and 'learning plans'. Let's adjust to be more accurate to the schema's intent or omit if no fit. The schema options are rigid. 'client delivery' fits 'delivering instruction'. Let's use 'client delivery' as it involves direct service delivery to students.) -> client delivery
