Negotiate and establish contracts
How negotiate and establish contracts are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Negotiate and establish contracts 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, this score is derived from the process name and description ('Legally binding suppliers', 'Negotiate contracts') alongside the 'Procure materials and services' PCF lens. Contract negotiation is entirely information exchange, communication, and legal documentation, making it inherently remotely-doable knowledge work.
