The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Process and distribute manual checks 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 focus is the APQC process 'Process and distribute manual checks'. With no seeded children, the digital scalar is derived from the lens 'Process payroll' and the description indicating the work resolves incorrect or omitted salary payments. This involves financial calculation, record-keeping, and information transformation, which are heavily digital activities. The physical printing and distribution of paper checks slightly grounds the work, keeping it below 1.0, but the core value remains firmly digital.
