What this means
A score of 51 puts Sustainability Specialists in the most-exposed quarter of analyzed occupations. In practice, exposure this high is about the mix: 0 of 14 analyzed tasks lean automatable, 13 augmentable, and 1 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 14 analyzed tasks (equal task weights in this release — no hidden factors):
- Augmentable 13 tasks, averaging 52/100 exposure
- Durable 1 task, averaging 35/100 exposure
score = (13×52 + 1×35) ÷ 14 ≈ 51
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.
