Sources
What kinds of sources support the tools.
The current tool set uses public source families and curated editorial records. Sources support judgment; they do not replace it.
Core source families
- Occupation frameworks and task taxonomiesO*NET OnLine and comparable public occupation frameworks help define role boundaries, common tasks, work activities, and work contexts.
- Labor statistics and employment outlookU.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and other public labor agencies provide occupational definitions and broad structural trends.
- International labor and skills analysisInternational Labour Organization, OECD, Eurofound, and Cedefop support cross-country work-change, skills, and policy context.
- Sector and workflow reportsPublic industry studies and institutional workflow material are used to identify recurring redesign patterns rather than to import dramatic one-size-fits-all claims.
- Regulation, licensing, and accountability contextPublic regulators, professional standards bodies, educational authorities, health guidance, and safety rules help identify where human review and responsibility remain important.
How sources are used
Sources help define the normal scope of roles, check broader work-change patterns, and identify constraints such as safety, licensing, accountability, trust, and organizational design.
Important limit
No single public dataset can determine the fate of a specific role in a specific workplace. The tools therefore use sources as structured context, not as absolute predictions.
