The bottom line

Only about 10% of Glaziers 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 UNSPSC tool distribution is dominated by physical segments 27, 23, and 22 (22 tools, prior=0.00), with only minor segment 43 software representation for estimating. Top Work Activities like 'Handling and Moving Objects' (4.17) and 'Performing General Physical Activities' (4.02), combined with highly physical Work Contexts such as 'Using Hands to Handle, Control, or Feel Objects' (4.75) and working 'Outdoors, Exposed to All Weather Conditions' (4.44), indicate the value-producing work is strictly physical.

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.

Glaziers relies on 14 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.
