Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median/cap20] score 20 (raw 55 | A 55 / B 95 / C 55 | modality: physical_primary) AI can fully automate email and fax sorting and routing, and OCR‑based mailroom scanners can handle many physical letters, but opening and initial handling of physical mail still relies on manual work in most offices. (capable: AI email/fax classification (e.g., Microsoft Outlook with AI), OCR mailroom automation (e.g., Quadient))

How much of this task's output current AI can produce or substantially assist.
Best current model strength on any capability this task requires.
This is an assessment of technical feasibility plus published evidence - not a forecast. Even fully automatable tasks are often not automated, because of cost, verification, liability, regulation or the fact that the task is bundled with other work.
