The bottom line

About 40% of the work in Art Dealers is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.

Why: With no seeded component children, this scalar is derived from the NAICS description of 'retailing original and limited edition art works' and 'displaying works of art... in art galleries'. The industry centers on physical-world retail and curation (handling physical artworks, managing gallery spaces, face-to-face networking) mixed with knowledge work (sales administration, provenance research, marketing), landing squarely in the hybrid band.

Art Dealers sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Art Dealers inherits.
