Why This Score

AI Capability Overlap Increases risk

35% of tasks overlap with current AI

Human Coordination Reduces risk

31% human advantage from judgment & presence

Local Hiring Demand Reduces risk

50% demand buffer from SG labour market

Observed AI Adoption Increases risk

AI usage 19pp above theoretical exposure

Official Demand Signals Reduces risk

Listed on JiD — active government demand recognition

These factors combine multiplicatively — larger bars do not mean proportionally larger contributions to the final score.

What To Do Next

Offset potential: Medium Separate from the core score. This is a blended estimate of how much demand, redesign room, and transition support could cushion pressure.

This estimated role shows some offset potential, but it depends on demand and transition pathways holding up across the blended occupation set.

Demand support: Medium Transition support: High Reallocation room: Medium Switching friction: High

What helps

  • Demand still persists through current labour or hiring signals.
  • Nearby moves and published transition support look reasonably strong.
  • 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.

Blended from 3 component occupations. This remains a heuristic support layer rather than a direct measure of realised reinstatement.
