Develop pricing and scheduling estimates
How develop pricing and scheduling estimates are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Develop pricing and scheduling estimates 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 scalar is derived entirely from the PCF lens 'Develop and manage sales plans' and the process description 'Establishing predicted delivery costs, fees and timelines.' Estimating and scheduling are inherently analytical, information-processing tasks that run on spreadsheets and software, making the actual work highly digital even when assessing physical industries.

How the work flows
Trigger: A sales representative or customer submits a request for quote detailing desired products, services, and requirements.
- Extract project scope and technical requirements from the request
- Determine required materials, labor hours, and operational resources
- Calculate direct and indirect costs associated with the required resources
- Map operational tasks to establish a delivery timeline and milestones
- Apply margin targets to formulate the final price and fee structure
- Validate the estimate against capacity constraints and risk factors
- Approve and issue the final pricing and scheduling document
Outcome: A formally approved pricing quote and delivery schedule is finalized and provided to the requester.
