The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Approve bids is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.

Why: Because there are no seeded child occupations for this composite, the score is derived entirely from the process name 'Approve bids' and its educational procurement context. Evaluating vendor proposals, comparing costs, and making financial approval decisions is purely cognitive and administrative work. As an information-processing task that executes within e-procurement systems and digital workflows, it warrants a high digital band-center scalar.
