The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Influence customer 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: Without seeded child occupations, the scalar is derived from the top-level APQC process category 'Influence customer'. This process entails marketing, sales, and relationship management, which consist primarily of knowledge work and information exchange (e.g., communications, proposals, CRM). Consequently, it is assigned a band-center value of 0.85, reflecting its nature as digital, AI-addressable knowledge work.
