The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Conduct customer tests and interviews 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: While the 'Produce/Assemble/Test product' lens typically implies physical manufacturing steps, the process description overrides this by explicitly detailing information-centric knowledge work ('conducting surveys, focus groups, interviews, and detailed studies'). Because the core activity is quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis rather than physical assembly, I am overriding the physical lens and assigning the digital band-center value.
