Document design specifications
How document design specifications are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Document design specifications 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: Because there are no seeded child occupations, this score relies entirely on the process description and lens. While the APQC lens 'Produce/Assemble/Test product' generally indicates hands-on manufacturing, the specific activity of 'Documenting requirements' and specifying technical and costing criteria is purely informational work. Writing specifications and creating documentation is computer-based knowledge work, placing this firmly in the digital band.

How the work flows
Trigger: An initial product concept is approved or a design revision request is initiated.
- Gather initial product concepts and stakeholder requirements
- Define technical, quality, and costing parameters
- Specify ergonomic, safety, and servicing requirements
- Draft the specification document with examples and illustrations
- Review the document for clarity with execution personnel
- Finalize and publish the approved design specifications
Outcome: A comprehensive design specification document is finalized, approved, and delivered to the execution team.
