Analysis

MEYER, JACOB B is assigned to tech center 3600 and art unit 3612. The record covers 781 resolved cases and shows a 75.2% allowance rate. The interview lift is 16.7%, indicating a positive but limited association with allowance outcomes. The median time to allowance is 848 days.

The median timing supports early portfolio scheduling.
