AI is already used for 20% of the measured tasks of a Undertakers, Mortuary and Crematorium Assistants, heading for 65% within 20 years. The door in is grade B today, grade D in 20 years. Its moat is not yet classified, so we make no claim about what structurally protects it.

AI EXPOSURE is the share of this job's day-to-day tasks AI is already used for, from observed real-world usage by occupation (Anthropic labour market research, 2026). It is a measurement of now, not a prediction that the job disappears.

GUT CHECK

That exposure number: how does it compare to what you expected?

Where it sits

Out of 1,840 scored careers, 933 are less exposed than Undertakers, Mortuary and Crematorium Assistants, 809 are more exposed, and 97 score exactly the same.

less exposed · same score (including this career) · more exposed

Within a tied score, order is alphabetical and means nothing: the measurement supports no finer ranking than the number itself.

Why we say this

The exposure score comes from Anthropic's 2026 labour market research: observed, real-world AI usage matched to occupations. THE DOOR grades come from each career's published forecast in OpenAI's "The AI Jobs Transition Framework" (Richmond 2026, CC BY 4.0). The moat classification records what structurally protects a job: hands-on work, legal accountability, or people wanting a real person - and where we have no record, the card says so instead of guessing. Scorecard verdicts are Careermash editorial judgment; we show forecasts as forecasts and own our conclusions.

The ledger

Every change to this measurement or to any wording that carries a claim is recorded here, permanently. Nothing is edited or deleted.

  • 2026-08-29Moat lines rewritten to assert only what the engine classification means (hands-on / protected by law / people want a real person / no special protection). No scores changed.
  • 2026-08-19Correction: careers without a moat record stopped showing a confident "NO MOAT" claim and now show "moat not yet classified". Exposure scores were and remain real for every career.
  • 2026-08-16First public measurement: AI exposure per occupation from Anthropic 2026 observed-usage research; door grades and 20-year horizons from OpenAI "The AI Jobs Transition Framework" (Richmond 2026, CC BY 4.0).
