The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Perform inventory accounting 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 scalar is derived from the PCF lens 'Perform planning and management accounting' and the process description. The lens indicates high-digital financial work, and the description explicitly focuses on ledger accounting, calculating depreciation, and analyzing market factors—activities that consist entirely of information processing and data analysis rather than physical handling of the inventory itself.
