The bottom line

Only about 5% of Petroleum and Coal Products 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: I weighed the NAICS lens prior for this subsector alongside its description, which outlines purely physical industrial processes like refining, cracking, and distilling crude petroleum and coal. Additionally, the single known child product component (Fuels and Fuel Additives and Lubricants) has a digital scalar of 0.00, yielding a strongly physical roll-up mean that grounds the low score.
