- An estimated 22% now and 25% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce AZZ Inc.'s own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster.

- 0 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 0, 0 and 0 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on November 8, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns.
