Build prototypes
How build prototypes are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 20% of Build prototypes 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: With no child occupations seeded, the score relies on the process name and its anchored industries (Beverage, Food, Chemical, and Apparel Manufacturing). Building prototypes in these sectors requires hands-on creation of physical goods, such as mixing food batches or sewing garments, keeping the work firmly in the physical band.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Build prototypes sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Build prototypes inherits.

How the work flows
Trigger: Approval of a new product design, formula, or pattern for physical realization.
- Source materials and ingredients for prototype production
- Set up pilot equipment or rapid prototyping tools
- Fabricate, compound, or assemble the initial sample
- Inspect the sample against design and safety specifications
- Document prototype characteristics and production parameters
- Release the prototype for formal testing and evaluation
Outcome: A functional, testable prototype or small-batch sample is produced and documented for evaluation.
