The bottom line
About 50% of the work in Prevent loss is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.
Why: With no child occupations seeded, the scalar is based on the process name 'Prevent loss' within the 'Retail Trade' industry lens. Retail loss prevention is inherently hybrid, requiring both physical premise monitoring and direct intervention alongside digital point-of-sale data analysis and inventory auditing, landing squarely at the hybrid band center.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Prevent loss 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 Prevent loss inherits.

- Conduct store and supply chain vulnerability assessments
- Deploy physical and digital security controls
- Monitor surveillance feeds and inventory systems for anomalies
- Investigate suspected theft, fraud, or operational errors
