Direct answer

Exposure is not replacement probability

The Hand Launderers and Pressers role is not fully AI-proof. Its baseline suggests that a substantial share of the work is reachable by current AI, while human accountability, context and relationships can still protect important tasks. The 85/100 figure is an occupation-level starting point. It does not mean that 85% of workers will lose their jobs or that 85% of the role will certainly disappear.

Why your result may differ

A title cannot describe the whole job

Two people called Hand Launderers and Pressers may have different exposure. Routine digital inputs and repeatable rules raise automation pressure. Accountability, trust, unusual cases, physical presence and senior decision-making generally raise resilience. The personal assessment adjusts this baseline around those factors.
