The bottom line

Only about 0% of Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction 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: The NAICS lens description emphasizes that this sector relies entirely on extracting natural resources, operating wells, and mechanically beneficiating materials through crushing and washing. This highly physical nature is reinforced by the child component roll-up summary, where all 3 tracked outputs—including Fuels, Minerals, and Mining Machinery—carry a pure physical score of 0.00.

Business-as-Code

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.

Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction links to 3 entities via `specializes` — a real edge on the economy graph, surfaced here so the claim stays grounded in data rather than assertion.

Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction is itself composed of 3 parts that flow up into it — the sub-units whose work, summed, is what AGI capability re-prices here first.
