Production Occupations
How production occupations are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of 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: The deterministic code prior for this major group strongly signals a physical focus at 0.00. While the exceptionally sparse tool data lists a single software tool (Siemens NX in segment 43, prior 0.85), the anchored description confirms employment is highly concentrated in manual, factory-floor industries like Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing, Plastics Product Manufacturing, and Animal Slaughtering. Because the core value-producing work is hands-on labor, the scalar is pinned to 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.
Production Occupations relies on 5 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.
