General practitioner
Heavily assisted and barely automated. The diagnosis gets help; the consultation does not.
The shape of the work holds. The admin around it thins out considerably.
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. Administrative load is the single largest exposed component, and it is also the part practitioners most want reduced.
- Assisted
- 68
- Done outright
- 22
- Physical
- 56
- Robotics reach
- 22
Higher is generally good news. It means more of the work gets faster without the work going away.
This is the number most people mean when they say exposure. It is kept separate from assistance on purpose.
Protective only for as long as robotics cannot reach it. Read this one next to the robotics number, never alone.
Low reach turns physical work into shelter. High reach turns it into the main exposure.
