The Optional Work Report.
The monthly read on where machine work is replacing, augmenting, and creating human work — and what it means for the people setting policy. Built on OWI and NACI data.
A monthly analysis of the machine–human balance.
The Optional Work Report is a monthly publication that reads the machine–human balance from OWI and NACI data and states what changed, what it means, and what it demands of policy.
Each edition combines the current read from the firm's indices with focused analysis: a country or sector under the lens, a methodological note, and the developments in compute, capability, and labor that actually moved the system that month.
Four sections, every month.
The reading
The current state of the machine–human balance, as the indices see it, with month-over-month movement explained.
The lens
One country, sector, or firm examined in depth through the OWI and NACI frame.
The method
A short methodological note — what we refined, what we tested, and what held up.
The signal
The developments that mattered this month, separated from the ones that only trended.
