Roughly 85% of the work in Establish overall sales budgets 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: Lacking seeded child occupations, the scalar is derived from the process description and its 'Develop trade customer sales strategy' lens. Establishing budgets, calculating revenue and costs, and analyzing historical forecast data are pure knowledge-work tasks. Because these financial planning activities consist entirely of information transformation performed via software, the process sits firmly in the digital band.
