Perform maintenance
How perform maintenance are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Perform maintenance 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 child occupations seeded, this scalar is derived directly from the APQC process name ('Perform maintenance') and its industry anchor ('Oil and Gas Extraction'). Maintenance within petroleum extraction is fundamentally hands-on work requiring human intervention to physically repair and upkeep mechanical equipment, placing it firmly in the physical band at 0.15.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Perform maintenance sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Perform maintenance inherits.

How the work flows
Trigger: A maintenance work order is issued via a scheduled preventive maintenance plan or an urgent reactive repair request.
- Receive and review maintenance work order and safety permits
- Isolate equipment and apply Lockout/Tagout procedures
- Execute physical repairs, component replacements, or servicing
- Test equipment functionality and verify safety parameters
- Remove isolation and restore equipment to active service
- Document completed work, parts used, and close the order
Outcome: The target equipment is safely restored to optimal operating condition and released back into production.
