Occupation baseline ยท Model 1.0
Is the Building Inspector role AI-proof?
The Building Inspector role is partly exposed to AI, but it is more likely to be reshaped than removed as a whole. Outcomes depend heavily on the person's task mix, seniority and work setting.
Direct answer
Exposure is not replacement probability
The Building Inspector role is partly exposed to AI, but it is more likely to be reshaped than removed as a whole. Outcomes depend heavily on the person's task mix, seniority and work setting. The 60/100 figure is an occupation-level starting point. It does not mean that 60% of workers will lose their jobs or that 60% of the role will certainly disappear.
Role context

Why your result may differ
A title cannot describe the whole job
Two people called Building Inspector may have different exposure. Routine digital inputs and repeatable rules raise automation pressure. Accountability, trust, unusual cases, physical presence and senior decision-making generally raise resilience. The personal assessment adjusts this baseline around those factors.
Baseline inputs come from the site's compiled occupation dataset. Scores are editorial planning indicators, not official labour-market forecasts. See the methodology, formulas and limitations.
