Occupation baseline ยท Model 1.0
Is the Wood Treater role AI-proof?
The Wood Treater role is not fully AI-proof. Its baseline suggests that a substantial share of the work is reachable by current AI, while human accountability, context and relationships can still protect important tasks.
Direct answer
Exposure is not replacement probability
The Wood Treater role is not fully AI-proof. Its baseline suggests that a substantial share of the work is reachable by current AI, while human accountability, context and relationships can still protect important tasks. The 78/100 figure is an occupation-level starting point. It does not mean that 78% of workers will lose their jobs or that 78% of the role will certainly disappear.

Why your result may differ
A title cannot describe the whole job
Two people called Wood Treater 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.
