How this score was calculated
The score is the plain average of the AI-exposure values of this role’s 17 analyzed tasks (equal task weights in this release — no hidden factors):
- Automatable 3 tasks, averaging 77/100 exposure
- Augmentable 13 tasks, averaging 53/100 exposure
- Durable 1 task, averaging 30/100 exposure
score = (3×77 + 13×53 + 1×30) ÷ 17 ≈ 56
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 (Very High) is a corpus quartile; the percentile is tie-aware across all 968 occupations.
