In-person + screen 3%

Physical sensing, digital output — e.g. interviewing someone then writing a report. Partially protected.

Computer + action 13%

Computer input, real-world output — needs someone to act on it, not just software.

Fully in-person 83%

No computer required. Furthest from automation — the strongest human advantage.
