Other Production Occupations
How other production occupations are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 10% of Other Production Occupations 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: Because specific tools and activities are unmapped for this Minor Group, the digital scalar relies on the deterministic code prior of 0.00 for its SOC category (Production Occupations) and its employment in hands-on industries like Paper, Pharmaceutical, and Mineral Manufacturing. These indicators strongly point to physical factory-floor production work, placing the occupation firmly in the physical band.

Headless SaaS for Agents
The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
Other Production Occupations relies on 4 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.
