Perform the history and physical
How perform the history and physical are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line

Why: With no child occupations seeded, the scalar is derived from the process name 'Perform the history and physical' and its healthcare provider context. The process inherently blends direct hands-on patient interaction (the physical exam) with information gathering and documentation (the medical history), placing it squarely in the hybrid band.
