Assemblers and Fabricators
How assemblers and fabricators are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Assemblers and Fabricators 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: The grounding block lacks granular tool, activity, or context metrics for this minor group, but provides a deterministic code prior of 0.00 based on its SOC prefix. The occupation's description highlights heavy employment in motor vehicle and electronic component manufacturing, indicating highly manual, physical assembly work. Lacking specific O*NET data, a band-center value for physical work is applied.

Headless SaaS for Agents
The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
Assemblers and Fabricators relies on 4 products. The headless dimension of each — whether an agent can call it without a screen — is what decides how much of this work goes hands-free.
