This model suggests AI is more likely to enhance School principal than replace it. moderate exposure, but strong human bottlenecks mean AI augments rather than substitutes.
Why This Score
46% of tasks overlap with current AI
98% human advantage from judgment & presence
43% demand buffer from SG labour market
AI usage 33pp below theoretical exposure
These factors combine multiplicatively — larger bars do not mean proportionally larger contributions to the final score.
Exposure × (1 − Bottleneck) × Market Modifier. How this works

12-Month Outlook
Rule-based, not a prediction
What To Do Next
School principal has some offset potential, but it depends on task redesign holding up in practice and on workers clearing the main switching frictions.
What helps
- A meaningful share of the work can likely be reorganized around AI rather than removed outright.
What could slow it down
- Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
