Why: The UNSPSC tool distribution is overwhelmingly physical, dominated by tools in segments 47 (cleaning equipment), 27 (machinery), and 24 (material handling) with 0.00 priors. Top Work Context attributes heavily emphasize hands-on, environmental labor, such as 'Wear Common Protective or Safety Equipment' (5.00) and 'Spend Time Standing' (4.70). While 'Documenting/Recording Information' appears as a high Work Activity (4.36), the core tasks involve 'Handling and Moving Objects' and 'Controlling Machines and Processes', keeping this work squarely in the physical band.
