Tasks
Task-level automation exposure
Core tasks only. Exposure describes how much of the task output current AI can produce or substantially assist - not whether the task disappears. Secondary shared-baseline edges are hidden until per-occupation curation is complete.

Evidence
Evidence trail
0 attributed item(s). Confidence reflects study design: randomised and production deployments score higher than platform observations, which score higher than projections.
No occupation-specific evidence has been mapped yet. This occupation is scored from generic task assessment only - a genuinely weaker basis, and the reason its score is marked low-confidence.
Historical trend
Exposure over time
Backcast series: recomputed at quarterly checkpoints using only the models and evidence published by each date.
Reconstruction, not measurement. 9 observed daily snapshot(s) exist for this occupation; the earlier part of the curve is derived by applying the current methodology to the model releases and published evidence available at each past date.
