Carry-out design and development activities
How carry-out design and development activities are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Carry-out design and development activities 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: With no child occupations seeded, the digital scalar is derived from the process name and its lens prior as a top-level APQC category. 'Design and development activities' primarily entails engineering, network planning, and service modeling—which are predominantly computer-based knowledge work, placing it firmly in the digital band.

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Carry-out design and development activities 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 Carry-out design and development activities inherits.

How the work flows
Trigger: An approved airline service or product concept enters the development pipeline with allocated funding and initial requirements.
- Translate service concepts into technical and operational specifications
- Build physical or digital prototypes for cabin features, software, or passenger service flows
- Conduct safety, feasibility, and aviation regulatory compliance reviews
- Execute user acceptance and operational stress testing on prototypes
- Refine designs based on test feedback
- Finalize technical blueprints, service manuals, and vendor requirements
Outcome: Finalized design specifications, tested prototypes, and operational blueprints are handed off for implementation across the airline network.
