By the patterns, the work is about 25% desk work, 12% people work and 64% 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 65% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 27% 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.
