Design and construct productive assets
How design and construct productive assets are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 20% of Design and construct productive assets 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 seeded child occupations available, the score relies on the process description and PCF top-level category lens. The process centers on realizing physical assets like 'machines, tools, factories' and 'overseeing construction.' While it includes orchestration tasks like planning and capital management, the core value-producing output is heavy physical construction, placing this firmly in the physical band.

How the work flows
Trigger: A strategic capacity plan or approved business case identifies the need for a new revenue-generating physical asset.
- Secure capital funding and define asset specifications
- Draft conceptual and detailed engineering designs
- Procure materials, equipment, and contractor services
- Execute physical construction and installation
- Track project schedule, spend, and quality metrics
- Perform system testing and commissioning
- Hand over the completed asset to operations
Outcome: The physical asset is fully constructed, commissioned, and transferred to operations for production use.
