Procure materials and services
How procure materials and services are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Procure materials and services 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: With no child occupations seeded, the scalar relies on the top-level category lens and the process description. The work entirely consists of information-transformation and communication tasks—creating procurement plans, developing sourcing strategies, drafting contracts, and processing orders—which are inherently digital, knowledge-based activities.
