The bottom line

Only about 15% of Receive aircraft 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 seeded child occupations, the scalar is derived from the process name 'Receive aircraft' and its aerospace manufacturing lens. Receiving a massive physical asset requires hands-on towing, securing, and physical inspection. Similar to other physical supply chain and asset acquisition processes (typically 0.15-0.20), the core value-producing work is definitively hands-on, placing this firmly in the physical band despite necessary intake documentation.

Business-as-Code

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.

Receive aircraft 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 Receive aircraft inherits.

How the work flows

Trigger: An aircraft arrives at the receiving facility from a manufacturer, maintenance depot, or transferring organization.

  1. Coordinate arrival logistics and secure the aircraft at the designated facility
  2. Perform initial visual exterior and interior inspections
  3. Verify logbooks and technical certification documents
  4. Execute required functional ground tests or acceptance flights
  5. Update asset management and fleet configuration systems
  6. Execute formal transfer of custody and sign acceptance certificates

Outcome: The aircraft is formally accepted, documented in the asset management system, and cleared for operational deployment or scheduled maintenance.
