Couriers and Messengers
How couriers and messengers are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Couriers and Messengers is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: With no known digital child values to roll up, the evaluation relies on the LENS prior and industry description, which emphasize the physical delivery of parcels using bicycles, foot, cars, and vans. Because the core value-producing work is the physical transportation and handling of goods, this industry sits firmly in the physical band.
