The bottom line

Only about 15% of Cashiers 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 specific tool, activity, or context data available in the grounding block, I rely on the occupation name and the provided deterministic SOC code prior of 0.05. Cashiers perform hands-on, location-bound transactional work, securely placing the role in the physical band with a band-center scalar.

Business-as-Code

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.

Autonomous Agents as digital employees

Which of this work becomes digital labor — performed under typed authority, promoted to autonomy on track record.

Headless SaaS for Agents

The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.

Cashiers relies on 7 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.
