The bottom line

Only about 25% of Models 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 shows a mix of IT software (16 tools in segment 43) and physical apparel/personal care gear (10 tools in segment 53). However, the primary Work Activity is heavily physical, led by 'Performing General Physical Activities' (4.43). Coupled with Work Contexts like 'Spend Time Keeping or Regaining Balance' (3.04) and exposure to bright lighting (3.00), the core value-producing work is an irreducibly human physical presence, placing the scalar in the physical band despite the use of digital tools for scheduling and promotion.

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.

Models relies on 18 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.
