In practice, exposure this level is about the mix: 0 of 16 analyzed tasks lean automatable, 6 augmentable, and 10 durable. The useful question isn’t “will AI take this job” — it’s which tasks go first, which get faster, and where to reposition time. That’s what the personalized report maps against your actual week.

How this score was calculated
The score is the plain average of the AI-exposure values of this role’s 16 analyzed tasks (equal task weights in this release — no hidden factors):
- Augmentable 6 tasks, averaging 46/100 exposure
- Durable 10 tasks, averaging 21/100 exposure
score = (6×46 + 10×21) ÷ 16 ≈ 30
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.
