Task coverage90%

Confidence reflects task coverage, mapping and capability-evidence quality, and how much of the score rests on provisional inputs.

Task-level evidence

What is driving the score?

Occupation scores are built from the task mix—not a single prediction about a job title.

Most exposed

Where AI can do more

Routine, digitized, and highly repeatable tasks face the greatest pressure.

  1. Line slots with sheet insulation, and insert coils into slots.71
  2. Review work orders and specifications to determine materials needed and types of parts to be processed.70
  3. Attach, alter, and trim materials such as wire, insulation, and coils, using hand tools.68
  4. Apply solutions or paints to wired electrical components, using hand tools, and bake components.68
Hardest to automate

Where people still matter

These tasks score lowest on automation feasibility—physical presence, judgement, accountability and real-world variability all resist end-to-end automation.

Beyond AI capability

Adoption and labour-market outlook

Structural factors are kept separate from raw capability so you can see what actually resists automation. Adoption pressure and labour-market resilience are still provisional models—25% of this occupation’s replacement-risk weight rests on them.
