Data analyst

Among the most assisted occupations here and among the more exposed. Asking the right question survives; producing the answer largely does not.

Resilience Shifting

A large share of the work is moving. The remaining core is narrower and more senior than it used to be.

Scale, labels and thresholds are provisional. This is open question Q-02.

How the score is made

Four declared inputs, never collapsed into one number. Assistance is kept apart from outright automation, because a tool that makes you faster and a tool that replaces you are not the same event. Physical work counts as shelter only to the extent robotics cannot reach it.

The full method is written out, including what it cannot tell you.

Note on this occupation Placeholder values. The ISCO mapping here is poor: analysts are spread across several units. This is the granularity problem again.

Assisted
88

Higher is generally good news. It means more of the work gets faster without the work going away.

Done outright
70

This is the number most people mean when they say exposure. It is kept separate from assistance on purpose.

Physical
4

Protective only for as long as robotics cannot reach it. Read this one next to the robotics number, never alone.

Robotics reach
30

Low reach turns physical work into shelter. High reach turns it into the main exposure.

What changes

Tasks moving to machines, in whole or in part.

  • Writing queries and building routine reports.
  • Cleaning, joining and reshaping data.
  • Producing the standard chart pack.

What stays human

Tasks that need a person, and why.

  • Knowing which question is worth answering.
  • Recognising when a result is too convenient to be true.
  • Telling a decision-maker something they do not want to hear.

What's new

Work that did not exist in this job ten years ago.

  • Checking machine-generated analysis that is fluent and occasionally wrong.
  • Governance over what data may be used, and how.
  • Far more analysis requested, because asking has become nearly free.

These three lists are editorial commentary, written against task-level data but not generated from it (OCC-05). Treat them as the author's reading, not as output.
