Tire Builders
How tire builders are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 10% of Tire Builders 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 Tire Builders interact with some software systems (11 tools in IT Segment 43 like SAP and PLC software), their core work is overwhelmingly physical. This is strongly evidenced by top work activities like 'Handling and Moving Objects' (4.34) and 'Performing General Physical Activities' (4.10), as well as extreme physical context scores including 'Spend Time Standing' (5.00), 'Using Your Hands to Handle... Objects' (4.87), and 'Wear Common Protective... Equipment' (4.77). Thus, the value-producing work is strictly non-digital.

Headless SaaS for Agents
The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
Tire Builders uses 31 tools today. As each gains an agent-consumable surface (API / MCP / SDK), the human UI stops being the only way in — and the work routes straight to an agent.
+19 more via usesTool
Tire Builders relies on 15 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.
+3 more via uses
The software Tire Builders reaches for already exposes 12 agent-callable actions (via uses → exposedBy) — typed surfaces an agent invokes directly, no human screen in the loop. The work routes to the API, not the UI.
