Operation and Control
How operation and control are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Operation and Control 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: The scalar is derived directly from the skill name 'Operation and Control' and its description of controlling equipment or systems. Operating physical machinery is fundamentally hands-on, physical work rather than remote information processing, placing it solidly in the physical band.
