The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Manage service vendors 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 scalar is derived entirely from the APQC process name 'Manage service vendors'. Managing vendors is an administrative, knowledge-based activity centered on procurement, contract negotiation, and supplier communication. Because this value-producing work consists of information transformation and coordination typically performed via software and communication tools rather than physical labor, it sits firmly in the digital band.
