Postal Service
How postal service are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Postal Service 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 child occupations seeded, this score relies on the NAICS Subsector lens and description for 'Postal Service'. The description explicitly defines the core work as 'delivering letters and small parcels,' 'collection, pick-up, and delivery operations,' and 'sorting and transportation activities.' Because the ultimate value-producing step requires humans and mechanized equipment physically moving items from point A to point B, the industry is securely in the physical band, with AI limited to route orchestration and tracking.

Postal Service 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 Postal Service inherits.
Postal Service links to 86 entities via `suppliesTo` — a real edge on the economy graph, surfaced here so the claim stays grounded in data rather than assertion.
