Perform discovery research
How perform discovery research are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Perform discovery research 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 PCF lens 'Generate and define new product/service ideas' and the provided description. The process involves coordinating R&D, identifying new technologies, and triangulating information to close market gaps. These early-stage discovery and research tasks are highly analytical, knowledge-based activities that operate on information rather than physical materials, placing the work firmly in the digital band.

How the work flows
Trigger: An identified gap in the existing product portfolio or a shift in market expectations initiates the search for new technologies.
- Define discovery scope based on portfolio gaps
- Scan industry and academic landscapes for emerging technologies
- Conduct early-stage investigations and experiments
- Evaluate technological capabilities against market expectations
- Recommend viable technologies for further development
Outcome: A curated list of viable technologies and early-stage concepts is documented and approved for integration into the product development pipeline.
