The bottom line

Only about 10% of Millwrights 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: While Millwrights use some IT/software tools (8 tools in segment 43, prior=0.85), their toolset is dominated by physical equipment (13 tools in segment 27, prior=0.00). The top Work Activities ('Repairing and Maintaining Mechanical Equipment' at 4.77, 'Handling and Moving Objects' at 4.45) and Work Context attributes (scoring 5.00 for wearing protective equipment and 4.50 for exposure to hazardous equipment) definitively peg this as hands-on, physical labor.

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.

Millwrights 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.
