Petrochemical Manufacturing
How petrochemical manufacturing are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Petrochemical Manufacturing 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: Because no child occupations or products are seeded, the scalar is derived entirely from the NAICS industry lens and description. The core value output of 'Petrochemical Manufacturing' is the physical transformation of refined petroleum into hydrocarbons. As heavy industrial manufacturing focused entirely on generating physical goods, it sits squarely in the physical band.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Petrochemical Manufacturing 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 Petrochemical Manufacturing inherits.
Petrochemical Manufacturing is itself composed of 6 parts that flow up into it — the sub-units whose work, summed, is what AGI capability re-prices here first.
