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 5 tasks, averaging 43/100 exposure
Durable 15 tasks, averaging 20/100 exposure

score = (5×43 + 15×20) ÷ 20 ≈ 26

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.
