The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Refine customer requirements 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 process description explicitly identifies informational tasks—clarifying scope, timelines, data sources, and evaluation criteria for procurement requests. Governed by the 'Develop and manage sales plans' lens, this involves pure knowledge work, communication, and documentation without any physical value-producing steps, placing it confidently in the digital band.
