The bottom line
About 50% of the work in Surgeons is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.
Why: Because the grounding block is empty of specific tools, work activities, or context data for this occupation, the scalar is derived from the seeded name and description. 'Surgeons' perform critical hands-on physical interventions (operating on patients), but their work also requires extensive cognitive diagnosis, treatment planning, and medical documentation. This mix of hands-on care and information work places it squarely in the hybrid band, assigned the 0.50 band-center.
