# Introduction

## What is Cubit?

Cubit provides **AI vulnerability intelligence** for the US labor market. We've analyzed every occupation in the American economy to answer the question that matters most: **which jobs and skills will thrive-and which will struggle-as AI capabilities advance?**

Unlike simplistic "robots will take your job" predictions, Cubit provides nuanced, evidence-based analysis grounded in:

* **923 occupations** covering the entire US labor market
* **18,796 tasks** scored on four dimensions of AI vulnerability
* **120 skills, abilities, and knowledge domains** with AI resilience scores
* **1.2 million+ AI evaluations** across 13,000+ benchmark questions and 95 models

## The Cubit Approach

Most AI impact studies ask a single question: *"Can AI do this job?"* This leads to systematic errors-both false alarms and missed risks.

Cubit asks three questions:

| Question                                | What We Measure                                                   |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Can AI access this work?**            | Structural Exposure: Is it procedural? Is it digital?             |
| **Is human presence essential?**        | Human Necessity: Physical requirements? Relational depth?         |
| **Can AI actually perform the skills?** | Demonstrated Capability: Benchmark performance on required skills |

Only when all three conditions align does work face genuine displacement risk. Otherwise, we identify augmentation opportunities, protected domains, or areas where current AI simply can't compete.

## Who Uses Cubit?

| **EdTech Platforms**        | Help students choose resilient career paths with evidence-based guidance |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **HR & Workforce Software** | Build workforce transformation tools with task-level precision           |
| **Economic Development**    | Analyze regional vulnerability and target transition investments         |
| **Career Counseling**       | Recommend skill-adjacent transitions from exposed to resilient roles     |
| **Enterprise Strategy**     | Plan workforce evolution with custom scoring models                      |

## Key Features

### Task-Level Granularity

Jobs aren't monolithic-they're bundles of tasks. A "Financial Analyst" performs data gathering (highly automatable), model building (partially automatable), and client relationship management (protected). Cubit scores each task independently.

### Evidence-Based Capability Scores

We don't guess whether AI can perform a skill. We map occupational requirements to standardized AI benchmarks and measure actual model performance.

### Transition Intelligence

Our skill-similarity algorithms identify career pathways from high-exposure to high-resilience occupations with maximum skill overlap and minimum retraining.

### Regional Analysis

Every metro area has a different occupational mix. Cubit provides MSA-level exposure profiles, wages at risk, and sector concentration analysis.

## Data Sources

Cubit intelligence is built on authoritative public data sources:

| Source                         | What It Provides                                       |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **O\*NET 29.0**                | Occupational structure, tasks, skill requirements      |
| **Stanford HELM**              | AI model capability benchmarks                         |
| **Bureau of Labor Statistics** | Employment projections, wage data, regional statistics |

Our proprietary contribution is the annotation, linkage, and scoring that transforms these sources into actionable AI vulnerability intelligence.
