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

Computer + action 11%

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

Fully in-person 18%

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