What this means

A score of 21 puts Skincare Specialists in the least-exposed quarter of analyzed occupations. In practice, exposure this level is about the mix: 0 of 18 analyzed tasks lean automatable, 2 augmentable, and 16 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.

Lower-exposure adjacent roles

No adjacent role in the current data release is at least 10 points lower with ≥50% skill overlap — we don’t label anything “safer” unless the data supports it.

How this score was calculated

The score is the plain average of the AI-exposure values of this role’s 18 analyzed tasks (equal task weights in this release — no hidden factors):

Augmentable 2 tasks, averaging 50/100 exposure
Durable 16 tasks, averaging 18/100 exposure

score = (2×50 + 16×18) ÷ 18 ≈ 21

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 (Low) is a corpus quartile; the percentile is tie-aware across all 968 occupations.
