The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Negotiate service-level agreements 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 relies on the process name and the PCF top-level category lens 'Manage policies and procedures'. Negotiating service-level agreements and specifying scope, quality, and responsibilities is purely knowledge-based work, involving communication, document drafting, and term review, which places it firmly in the digital band.
