The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Report on profitability 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 digital scalar is derived entirely from the APQC Lens prior 'Perform planning and management accounting' and the process description of making reports on revenues and expenses. Financial reporting and profitability calculation represent pure information transformation and knowledge work. Because this process consists of analyzing and documenting financial data rather than performing any physical activity, it sits firmly in the digital band.
