Underground Coal Mining
How underground coal mining are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 10% of Underground Coal Mining 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: Since no children are seeded for this industry, the LENS prior and NAICS description provide the primary signals. The description explicitly centers on heavy physical extraction and processing, including 'underground mining' and 'beneficiating (e.g., cleaning, washing, screening, and sizing)' of coal. Because the core value-producing work is intensely physical, the scalar lands firmly in the low physical band.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Underground Coal Mining 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 Underground Coal Mining inherits.
Underground Coal Mining is itself composed of 7 parts that flow up into it — the sub-units whose work, summed, is what AGI capability re-prices here first.
