Perform unplanned maintenance and repairs
How perform unplanned maintenance and repairs are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Perform unplanned maintenance and repairs 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, the score relies on the PCF lens 'Maintain productive assets' and the process name 'Perform unplanned maintenance and repairs'. Physical asset maintenance requires hands-on human labor to fix or replace broken components; while AI can coordinate dispatch and diagnostics, the value-producing repair work itself is intrinsically physical.
