Substitution — the headline: capability discounted by cost, barriers and adoption.

Exposure — technical capability alone, regardless of whether anyone deploys it.

Augmentation — how much AI assists without replacing. High here + moderate substitution = a changing job, not a disappearing one.

DimensionModelRatingRationale
Sector adoption velocityclaude-haiku-4-5-202510011/5No adoption occurs because the task is legally prohibited for non-licensed humans and impossible for AI. Regulatory barriers make displacement infeasible.
Sector adoption velocityclaude-sonnet-51/5This specific in-person legal/negotiation activity shows essentially no AI adoption or displacement trend, unlike back-office claims tasks in the same occupation.
Augmentation potentialclaude-haiku-4-5-202510012/5AI can assist with case preparation, document review, and strategy briefing beforehand, but cannot augment the act of attending itself; the human claims adjuster remains solely responsible and present at the event.
Augmentation potentialclaude-sonnet-53/5AI can help adjusters prepare for mediations/trials by summarizing case files, drafting talking points, or predicting outcomes, but it does not assist during the actual proceeding.
Task automatabilityclaude-haiku-4-5-202510011/5Attending mediations or trials inherently requires physical presence, real-time interactive judgment, and legal standing—none of which current AI can provide. No meaningful automation is possible for this fundamentally human-required task.
Task automatabilityclaude-sonnet-51/5Attending mediations or trials requires physical/live presence, real-time judgment, negotiation, and representation of the company's interests, which current AI cannot perform end-to-end.'
Adoption barriersclaude-haiku-4-5-202510015/5Hard legal and licensing barriers: only licensed attorneys or legally authorized representatives can attend mediations and trials on behalf of clients. Regulatory requirement and human-contact mandate are absolute.
Adoption barriersclaude-sonnet-55/5Legal proceedings require an authorized human representative (often with legal standing or authority to negotiate/settle), making this a hard, non-negotiable barrier to AI substitution.
Cost vs. human wageclaude-haiku-4-5-202510011/5AI cannot substitute for this task at all, so cost comparison is moot; the human cost is mandatory and irreplaceable by AI systems today.
Cost vs. human wageclaude-sonnet-51/5There is no AI substitute performing this task, so cost comparison favors the human by default since AI cannot deliver the output at all.
Technical feasibility todayclaude-haiku-4-5-202510011/5No deployed AI product can attend or represent parties at mediations or trials. These are strictly gatekept by licensing and legal requirement for a qualified human presence.
Technical feasibility todayclaude-sonnet-51/5No deployed product attends legal proceedings or mediations on behalf of a claims adjuster; this remains entirely a human function.

How to read this

A high substitution score does not mean this job disappears — it means a large share of its current tasks face replacement pressure, so the mix of tasks is likely to change. High augmentation alongside substitution typically means the occupation reorganizes around the protected tasks. Wide confidence intervals mean the rater panel disagreed: treat those scores as open questions, not verdicts.

What would change this score

New model capabilities (automatability, feasibility), falling inference costs (cost ratio), regulation and licensing shifts (barriers), and measured sector adoption (velocity) all re-enter at every index release. Each release is recomputed, versioned and kept queryable — scores are claims with a date on them, not permanent labels.
