Risk Framework

4 risk exposure bands

This framework focuses on task-composition exposure, not false-precision job-loss predictions.

Extreme
70-80% of core tasks
Routine task structure is highly vulnerable and structural decline is plausible without role evolution.
High
55-69% of core tasks
Substantial automation pressure. Survival depends on moving into adjacent, higher-value work.
Elevated
40-54% of core tasks
Significant sub-task automation, but the role is more likely to evolve than disappear outright.
Moderate
25-39% of core tasks
Partial automation pressure with stronger protection from judgment, context, and relational work.
