Which tasks are exposed
Risk applies to individual tasks—not to a person or an entire occupation.
Task Risk Diagnostics using fault codes and telemetry 24% Planning scheduled maintenance 28% Physical repair of a non-standard fault 13% Collecting telemetry and preparing shift reports 31% Forecasting load and consumption 25% Automated equipment-condition monitoring 24% Routine switching under normal conditions 31% Field repair and fault localization 14%
What the score means
The score reflects process repeatability, data digitization, automated verification, the physical environment and the economic incentive to deploy technology.
The index reflects potential technology exposure of occupational tasks and is not the probability that a particular person will lose their job.
