The bottom line
Only about 15% of Repairing 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 skill name 'Repairing' and its description—'Repairing machines or systems using the needed tools'—explicitly define hands-on physical work. Because it requires direct physical manipulation of tangible equipment, it sits firmly in the physical band.
