Develop and Manage Products and Services
How develop and manage products and services are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 75% of the work in Develop and Manage Products and Services 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 known digital scalars for the child occupations, the score relies on the process description ('Generate and define new product/service ideas') and the performing occupation names. Roles like Software Developers, Architectural and Engineering Managers, and Mechanical Engineers predominantly engage in computer-aided design, analysis, and program management, placing this R&D and product management process in the digital band.
