The filing counts its people by region and service station status (a) but not by segment, so the service stations take their stated count and the upstream and downstream shares are by description (c).
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: 19% now, 32% at the end of 2027, 38% at the end of 2028, 41% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 41% desk work, 15% people work and 44% 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 52% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 38% becomes checking a model's work and 7% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

| Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing | 38% | Downstream, refining and marketing fuels and lubricants, is 71% of revenue; by description (c), since the filing states no count by segment. |
| Gasoline Stations | 12% | The filing counts 5,179 service station employees, 12% of the total (a). |

Limits of this reading
- The collector's first pick (12,438) was the table's count of women; the total is the table's 43,039.
- The upstream and downstream shares are by description (c): the filing counts people by region and service station status, not by segment; by revenue downstream would be 71%.
- The U.S. figure (19,366) covers non-service-station employees only, so the U.S. share is not stated.

- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on October 2, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
