Direct answer

Exposure is not replacement probability

The Wool Handler role is partly exposed to AI, but it is more likely to be reshaped than removed as a whole. Outcomes depend heavily on the person's task mix, seniority and work setting. The 55/100 figure is an occupation-level starting point. It does not mean that 55% of workers will lose their jobs or that 55% of the role will certainly disappear.

Why your result may differ

A title cannot describe the whole job

Two people called Wool Handler 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.
