Calculate requirements for equipment installation or repair projects.

Calculate requirements for equipment installation or repair projects. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 2 occupations and seen in 3 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Determine resource needs of projects or operations. in Making Decisions and Solving Problems .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 3 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 2 (67%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

The Anthropic Economic Index observes real AI use on 1 of these tasks, with a mean mapped-usage share of 0.003% per task.

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• Compute impedance of wires from poles to houses to determine additional resistance needed for reducing signals to desired levels. · Telecommunications Line Installers and Repairers · importance 3.9 · direct LLM exposure
• Compute power and space requirements for installing medical, dental, or related equipment and install units to manufacturers' specifications. · Medical Equipment Repairers · importance 3.7 · no direct exposure
• Make computations relating to load requirements of wiring or equipment, using algebraic expressions and standard formulas. · Medical Equipment Repairers · importance 3.3 · direct LLM exposure
