Operations Monitoring
How operations monitoring are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 25% of Operations Monitoring 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 primary signal for this skill is its name, "Operations Monitoring," and its description, "Watching gauges, dials, or other indicators to make sure a machine is working properly." This explicitly enables work tied to physical machinery and mechanical equipment, aligning directly with physical-band anchors like "Operation and Control" and placing the scalar squarely in the physical band.
