|---|---|---|---|
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | Farm extension and home management sectors are traditionally slow to digitize; many operate with paper records or legacy systems. Adoption of AI for specialized outcome tracking has been limited, with most organizations still relying on manual or basic database approaches. |
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-sonnet-5 | 2/5 | Extension and agricultural education services are a small, often public-sector, moderately digitized field with slower AI tool adoption compared to finance or tech-heavy professional services. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 3/5 | AI tools could usefully assist educators by auto-populating forms, summarizing session notes, or flagging potential outcome patterns, thereby reducing administrative burden. However, the human educator must remain the primary decision-maker about which outcomes to log and their significance. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-sonnet-5 | 4/5 | AI can substantially assist by transcribing consultations, drafting summaries, and organizing records, letting the educator focus on verification and follow-up rather than manual documentation. |
| Task automatability | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | Recording services and documenting advice effects requires significant human judgment about what constitutes meaningful outcomes and impacts. While AI could structurally organize data entry, the interpretive component—determining effect significance and linking advice to outcomes—remains too complex and context-dependent for end-to-end automation at scale. |
| Task automatability | claude-sonnet-5 | 4/5 | Record-keeping of services and outcomes is a structured documentation task that AI can largely automate via note-taking, summarization, and database entry tools, though some judgment on categorizing 'effects of advice' may require human review. |

| Adoption barriers | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 4/5 | Farm and home management educators often work within institutional settings (extension services, agricultural agencies) with regulatory authority over agricultural compliance, safety, and liability. Setting production targets carries direct liability for crop failure and resource misallocation, creating legal and organizational friction that strongly favors human sign-off and accountability. |
| Adoption barriers | claude-sonnet-5 | 3/5 | No strict licensing requirement for this specific task, but extension educators often operate within institutional/government frameworks and farmers expect trusted, personalized human guidance, creating moderate adoption friction. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | Current agricultural monitoring systems and analytics require substantial setup, domain-specific integration, and ongoing expert oversight. The total cost of deployment, maintenance, and error correction likely exceeds or equals the cost of an educator performing these tasks, especially at smaller farms where fixed costs are harder to amortize. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-sonnet-5 | 2/5 | AI tools can cheaply generate data-driven projections, but the human educator's contextual synthesis, farm visits, and relationship-based advising remain costly and largely irreplaceable, keeping overall cost comparable to human-led work. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | While crop-monitoring tools and data analytics platforms exist, no mature deployed system reliably sets and monitors production targets independently. Existing agricultural software assists with data collection but requires significant human expertise to translate into actionable targets, and error costs (missed harvests, resource waste) remain high. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-sonnet-5 | 2/5 | Agricultural analytics and forecasting tools exist but are not deployed as autonomous target-setting systems in extension education contexts; they remain decision-support tools requiring expert interpretation. |

26| Dimension | Model | Rating | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | Farm sectors and agricultural extension services are digitizing slowly compared to information-intensive professions; adoption of AI-driven advising remains minimal, with most engagement still through traditional extension agents and human-led workshops, particularly in smaller farm operations. |
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | Agricultural extension and small-farm sectors are among the least digitized industries with minimal AI agent deployment in production settings. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 3/5 | AI tools can assist educators by generating draft feeding plans, financial analyses, or disease-identification support that the educator then refines and demonstrates—useful support for research and planning stages, but not transformative for the core advisory and demonstration function. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-sonnet-5 | 4/5 | AI tools can meaningfully help educators prepare materials, answer technical questions, and provide financial planning support, boosting their productivity even though they can't replace the field demonstration component. |
| Task automatability | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | While AI can provide information about livestock feeding, crop techniques, and basic financial planning, the task fundamentally requires live demonstration, real-time adaptation to farm conditions, and personalized advice based on individual farm contexts—capabilities current systems cannot deliver end-to-end. Only narrow components (e.g., generating feeding schedules from fixed parameters) are automatable. |
| Task automatability | claude-sonnet-5 | 2/5 | Advice generation on livestock health, agronomy, and finance can be partially drafted by AI, but hands-on demonstration of physical techniques in the field cannot be automated by current systems. |
| Adoption barriers | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 4/5 | Strong barriers exist: farmers often require trust-based relationships with educators, regulatory frameworks around livestock health may require certified human advice, and cultural/social factors favor human contact and demonstration for knowledge transfer in agricultural communities. Many agricultural extension services have formal credentialing requirements. |
| Adoption barriers | claude-sonnet-5 | 3/5 | No strict licensing requirement, but extension work relies on established trust relationships, local knowledge, and physical presence that create real friction against substitution. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | Current AI systems that might handle parts of this task (specialized agricultural advisory software, chatbots) still require significant human oversight, validation, and integration costs that are comparable to or exceed the marginal cost of direct educator contact in rural settings where this role operates. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-sonnet-5 | 2/5 | While AI-generated advice is cheap, the task requires site visits, physical demonstration, and trust-building that still require paying a human educator, keeping overall cost comparable rather than dramatically cheaper. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | No deployed product reliably performs the full advising and demonstration function in production on farms today. Chatbots can answer general questions, but they cannot conduct hands-on demonstrations, diagnose farm-specific problems in real time, or adapt recommendations to local soil, climate, and herd conditions as actual educators do. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-sonnet-5 | 2/5 | AI chatbots and ag-advisory tools exist and provide informational support, but no deployed product reliably performs in-person demonstration or context-specific farm visits at scale. |

16| Dimension | Model | Rating | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | Agricultural sectors, particularly small and mid-size farms, show slow AI adoption overall. Farm management remains heavily reliant on human extension agents and traditional practices, with limited digitization and low capital investment in automation relative to urban professional services. |
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | Agricultural extension and hands-on farm services are a low-digitization, physically-grounded sector with minimal AI agent deployment for this kind of task. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 3/5 | AI can meaningfully assist educators by automating soil sample analysis, aggregating market price data for purchasing decisions, and generating property condition reports, allowing educators to focus more on farmer consultation and decision-making rather than manual data collection and simple transactions. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-sonnet-5 | 3/5 | AI can assist with record-keeping, price analysis for purchasing/selling decisions, and interpreting soil test results, but cannot replace the physical sample collection or on-site supervision. |
| Task automatability | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | While AI could assist with some components (analyzing soil/herbage samples, price comparisons for purchasing), the task requires on-site physical inspection, property supervision, and real-time decision-making with farmers that cannot be fully automated end-to-end today. Current AI lacks the embodied capability to physically collect samples and navigate farm operations. |
| Task automatability | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | This task involves physical activities (property supervision, sample collection) and hands-on transactional work with farmers that current AI cannot perform end-to-end without human physical presence and judgment. |
| Adoption barriers | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 4/5 | Significant barriers exist: farm operations often require licensed agricultural extension advisors in many jurisdictions; liability for poor soil testing or purchasing decisions falls on human professionals; farmer relationships and trust require human contact; regulatory frameworks governing agricultural advice and property supervision typically mandate human accountability. |
| Adoption barriers | claude-sonnet-5 | 3/5 | No licensing mandates a human specifically, but physical presence, property access, and direct farmer relationships create practical friction against remote AI substitution. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | The all-in cost of deploying AI for sample collection (robotics, field sensors, integration, oversight) combined with inference costs exceeds the loaded wage of a farm educator performing traditional advising and limited sample collection work. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | AI cannot substitute for the physical labor and on-site presence required, so there is no viable AI cost comparison for this task as a whole. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | No deployed products reliably perform this complete task. While soil testing labs exist and e-commerce platforms handle purchasing, integrated AI systems that supervise properties, collect physical samples, and provide contextual farm management advice in production are not mature. Current applications are narrow and require significant human oversight. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | No deployed AI product autonomously purchases/sells farm supplies, supervises properties, or collects soil samples in the field; these remain human-executed physical and interpersonal tasks. |

12| Dimension | Model | Rating | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | Agricultural extension and home management education sectors are relatively low in digital maturity and AI adoption; these are traditionally human-centered, relationship-driven services with limited automation history. |
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | Agricultural extension work is a low-digitization, physically-embedded field profession with minimal AI agent deployment in production; adoption in this sector lags far behind information/professional services. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 3/5 | AI could assist educators by generating demonstration scripts, preparing visual aids, or providing real-time information lookup during live events, moderately enhancing preparation and delivery while the educator remains the primary demonstrator. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-sonnet-5 | 3/5 | AI can help educators prepare demonstration materials, research new techniques, generate visual aids, and analyze audience questions beforehand, but it doesn't materially assist during the live physical demonstration itself. |
| Task automatability | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | Field demonstrations require physical presence, real-time interaction with participants, and adaptive responses to questions and conditions. While AI could assist with preparation or content creation, end-to-end automation meeting the 50% time-saving threshold is not feasible with current systems. |
| Task automatability | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | This requires physically demonstrating agricultural products or techniques in real field settings, involving hands-on manipulation, live audience interaction, and adaptation to environmental conditions that current AI cannot perform end-to-end. |
| Adoption barriers | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 4/5 | Strong barriers exist: the task requires human credibility and trust with an audience, organizational preference for human educators, and implicit liability if automated systems provide incorrect product or technique guidance that affects farm operations or household safety. |
| Adoption barriers | claude-sonnet-5 | 3/5 | While no formal licensing mandates a human for this specific task, farmers strongly prefer trusted local human experts, and building rapport/trust in agricultural communities creates significant organizational and relational friction against automation. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | The cost of deploying AI systems (robotics, agents, infrastructure) capable of conducting field demonstrations would far exceed the wages of a farm/home management educator performing the task in person. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | There is no viable AI substitute for the physical, in-person demonstration component, so AI cost comparison is essentially inapplicable and human labor remains necessary. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | No deployed AI product reliably conducts in-person field demonstrations independently. This task demands embodied presence, real-time audience engagement, and situational judgment that current AI systems cannot reliably execute in production settings. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | No deployed AI product physically conducts field demonstrations; this remains firmly in the domain of human educators working directly with farmers and physical materials. |

Schedule and make regular visits to farmers.
9| Dimension | Model | Rating | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | Agricultural extension and farm education remain largely low-digitization sectors where educators conduct visits through traditional personal outreach; AI adoption in this specific task is minimal. |
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-sonnet-5 | 2/5 | Agricultural extension and education sectors are slow to adopt AI for field-based, relationship-driven activities compared to office-based information sectors. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | AI could marginally assist with scheduling optimization or pre-visit preparation (data gathering about a farm's records), but the core visit itself remains entirely human-dependent, offering limited augmentation value. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-sonnet-5 | 3/5 | AI can help schedule visits, optimize routes, prepare visit materials, and record/summarize notes afterward, meaningfully aiding the surrounding logistics even though the visit itself remains human. |
| Task automatability | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | This task requires physical presence at farm locations, relationship-building, and contextual responsiveness to individual farmer circumstances. Current AI systems cannot autonomously travel to farms or conduct in-person visits. |
| Task automatability | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | Physically visiting farmers and building in-person relationships requires a human presence and judgment that current AI cannot replicate; the core action is inherently physical/social.' |
| Adoption barriers | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 4/5 | Strong barriers exist due to the requirement for human contact, trust-building relationships with farmers, and the need for contextual judgment about farm conditions. Farmers typically expect direct human engagement from educators. |
| Adoption barriers | claude-sonnet-5 | 3/5 | No strict licensing barrier exists, but organizational norms, trust-building, and the value of personal relationships create moderate friction against removing the human element. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | The task is inherently human-performed; there is no AI alternative to compare costs against, making the human cost the baseline and any AI substitute more expensive when accounting for the still-required human oversight. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | There is no AI substitute for physical travel and in-person engagement, so cost comparison favors the human doing the actual visit. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | No deployed AI product can independently schedule and conduct farm visits; this fundamentally requires human physical presence and interpersonal interaction in real-world settings. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | No deployed AI product performs in-person farm visits; this is purely a research-irrelevant physical task not addressed by existing AI tools. |

5| Dimension | Model | Rating | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | Community-based farm and home management education operates in rural and regional contexts with low digitization rates, strong cultural preference for human educators, and minimal AI adoption pressure in the sector. |
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | Extension and agricultural community education is a low-digitization, relationship-driven sector with minimal AI adoption for this kind of in-person organizing work. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | AI could assist with event scheduling, materials preparation, or post-event documentation, but these support tasks are peripheral. The core advisory and participatory functions resist meaningful augmentation because they depend on human credibility and judgment. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-sonnet-5 | 3/5 | AI can help with scheduling, communications, promotional materials, and administrative planning for these events, providing moderate productivity assistance even though the core activity remains human-led. |
| Task automatability | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | This task requires human judgment, social presence, and relationship-building across diverse community stakeholders. Current AI systems cannot meaningfully organize, advise on, or participate in live community activities in ways that would deliver 50% time savings at equal quality. |
| Task automatability | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | This task requires in-person community engagement, relationship-building, and physical presence at events like fairs and club meetings, which AI cannot perform end-to-end. |
| Adoption barriers | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 4/5 | These roles are embedded in community trust, organizational leadership, and often informal governance structures where human judgment and accountability are assumed. Organizations depend on humans to represent them and make contextual decisions. |
| Adoption barriers | claude-sonnet-5 | 4/5 | Community trust, local relationships, and physical participation in events create strong organizational and social barriers that prevent AI substitution, though no formal licensing requirement exists. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | The core value of this task lies in the human educator's credibility, networks, and judgment. AI tools offer negligible cost advantage and cannot substitute for the human presence that defines the task's utility. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | There is no AI substitute performing this task, so cost comparison favors the human entirely; any AI use would only be supplementary, not a replacement. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | No deployed AI products reliably perform community organizing, advisory roles, or participation in live events. This requires embodied presence, trust-building, and contextual judgment that fall outside current reliable automation. |

4| Dimension | Model | Rating | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | Agricultural and advocacy sectors show low overall AI adoption, and there is no meaningful adoption of AI systems to replace human advocates in farm advocacy roles. |
| Sector adoption velocity | claude-sonnet-5 | 2/5 | Agricultural extension and educator roles are in a sector with modest AI adoption, and advocacy-specific AI tools are essentially nonexistent in this space. |
| Augmentation potential | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 2/5 | AI could assist with research (data on policy impact, farmer needs analysis) or draft communications, but the core work of building trust, negotiating, and advocating requires human judgment and presence; assistance is limited to background support. |

| Adoption barriers | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 5/5 | Advocacy on behalf of farmers involves representing others' interests and potentially legal/regulatory standing; laws and norms require that a human representative with clear accountability must serve in this role. |
| Adoption barriers | claude-sonnet-5 | 4/5 | Advocacy involves representing real people's interests, trust, and often legal/political standing (e.g., testifying, negotiating with agencies), which typically requires a human with standing and credibility. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | Advocacy work requires sustained stakeholder engagement, credibility, and institutional relationships that current AI cannot replace; human advocates would remain necessary and AI deployment offers no meaningful cost savings. |
| Cost vs. human wage | claude-sonnet-5 | 1/5 | There is no viable AI substitute performing this function, so cost comparison favors the human by default since AI cannot deliver the output at all. |
| Technical feasibility today | claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 | 1/5 | No deployed product can reliably perform advocacy work on behalf of a group; advocacy requires legal standing, accountability, and credibility that only human representatives can provide in practice. |

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.
