The buyer question
Which decisions define the Ann Arbor life-sciences mandate — research at the documented US biopharma-cycle scale, or clinical and tooling work — and which programme outcomes will the candidate personally own?
What the public record shows
No located source measures Ann's own market conditions; the previously cited single-institution or single-market record measured a different market and is not used.
Cycle facts say nothing about any Ann Arbor employer's candidate pool, wages or vacancy duration.
What changes in this market
Ann Arbor mandates split by function. Research mandates prove themselves in programmes advanced. Clinical mandates prove themselves in trials delivered. Tooling mandates prove themselves in instruments shipped.
