Scientific Research and Development Services
How scientific research and development services are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 75% of the work in Scientific Research and Development Services is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: Because the listed child occupations lack known digital scalars, this evaluation relies on the industry lens and occupation names. The NAICS description emphasizes knowledge generation, modeling, and simulation, which are highly cognitive tasks. Furthermore, listed roles like Survey Researchers, Atmospheric and Space Scientists, and Urban and Regional Planners are heavily analytical and data-driven, firmly positioning the industry's core value output in the digital band despite some experimental lab work.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Scientific Research and Development Services 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 Scientific Research and Development Services inherits.
Scientific Research and Development Services links to 2 entities via `specializes` — a real edge on the economy graph, surfaced here so the claim stays grounded in data rather than assertion.
