The answer
Simulated answer. Written for this fictional case, not produced by a live model. Only the figures in it are computed, from what you decided above.
3 of 6 skills fall short of the two-year need, by 14 full-time equivalents in all.
The gaps are in the newest skills, where the company has the least and the market is tightest [S1][S2]. Regulatory affairs looks small but is fragile: one resignation doubles the gap.
You have chosen to close 0 gaps (0 full-time equivalents) and treat 0 as tolerable; 3 are undecided. Closing a gap is a choice between hiring, training and buying the capability in.
Relies on: S1 · Skills inventory, aggregatedS2 · Two-year skills demand plan
Review and approval

Not ready to approve. 3 flagged skills are still undecided. Confirm or dismiss each one first.
