An instruments maker whose filing counts its two groups and their union members, so both patterns are counted shares.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 18% now, 34% at the end of 2027, 42% at the end of 2028, 46% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 46% desk work, 17% people work and 37% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 53% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 37% becomes checking a model's work and 5% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

- An estimated 18% now and 42% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce AMETEK, Inc.'s own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster.

A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
