Obtain, install and maintain equipment
How obtain, install and maintain equipment are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Obtain, install and maintain equipment 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: With no seeded occupations, the assessment relies on the APQC process name 'Obtain, install and maintain equipment' and its motor vehicle manufacturing context. Installing and maintaining physical assets is intrinsically hands-on work requiring human physical presence, placing it firmly in the physical band.
