How this score was calculated
The score is the plain average of the AI-exposure values of this role’s 20 analyzed tasks (equal task weights in this release — no hidden factors):
- Augmentable 8 tasks, averaging 44/100 exposure
- Durable 12 tasks, averaging 28/100 exposure
score = (8×44 + 12×28) ÷ 20 ≈ 34
Every task’s exposure value was scored against a published anchored rubric that scores tasks as actually performed — physical, in-person, and accountability requirements included (data release 2026.07.12-r2). The band (Moderate) is a corpus quartile; the percentile is tie-aware across all 968 occupations.
