The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Manage suppliers 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 score relies entirely on the process description ('Collecting and analyzing new information... through a supplier information management system') and the lens ('Procure materials and services'). Because the value-producing work is explicitly defined as data analysis, rating, and managing information within a software system, this is purely digital knowledge work.
