The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Evaluate economic viability 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 digital scalar is derived from the process name and lens. 'Evaluate economic viability' inherently involves analytical knowledge work such as financial modeling, cost-benefit analysis, and forecasting. Despite operating within the physically intensive 'Oil and Gas Extraction' industry, this specific evaluation process consists entirely of information transformation, placing it firmly in the digital band.
