The bottom line
Roughly 90% of the work in Prepare periodic budgets and plans 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: The scalar is based on the APQC Lens prior of 'Perform planning and management accounting' and the process description, which centers entirely on creating reports, estimating revenues and expenses, and applying budgeting techniques. Because this work consists exclusively of data analysis, financial calculation, and information transformation with no physical component, it maps squarely to the high digital band.
