Manage quality samples
How manage quality samples are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 25% of Manage quality samples is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: Grounded in the PCF top-level category lens 'Produce/Assemble/Test product' and the description's focus on 'selecting a set of elements from a product lot'. This requires hands-on interaction with physical goods to draw samples from a manufacturing line or batch, firmly placing the value-producing work in the physical band with a minor informational component for data collection.

How the work flows
Trigger: A production batch completes manufacturing, a shipment of raw materials arrives, or a routine quality audit is scheduled.
- Determine sample size and selection methodology for the product lot
- Extract representative samples from the production batch or delivery
- Execute required physical, chemical, or functional quality tests
- Record sample test results and compare against acceptable quality limits
- Determine the final pass or fail disposition of the parent lot based on sample inferences
- Route the parent lot for release, rework, or disposal based on the findings
Outcome: Representative samples are extracted, tested, and analyzed to determine whether the entire product lot meets quality standards.
