Delegability across Occupations and Countries (Espinal Maya & Jiménez Londoño, 2026). Preregistration:

Every file comes as CSV (UTF-8, comma, header row, . decimal) and, for the three tables, as Parquet (zstd) with the
same columns and the types below. Integrity: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS from this folder.
Rating scale (verbatim from scoring/prompts/rubrica_v1.md, frozen at preregistration, SHA-256 bcd076fb…0ea0e46)
- L0 — No meaningful role. The agent cannot perform or materially speed up any substantial part of the task.
- L1 — Augmentation. A human performs the task; the AI assists step by step (drafts, searches, suggestions). The human stays in the loop at each step and produces the output.
- L2 — Partial delegation. An agent can execute substantial sub-steps of the task end to end from a goal specification. A human still has to perform at least one essential step or review and correct the work before use.
- L3 — Full delegation. An agent can complete the whole task end to end, to the quality a competent worker would accept, given only the goal and access. The human's role is limited to assigning it and accepting the result.
Reference technology (fixed): publicly available AI agents as of October 2026 — frontier language models with tool use, code execution, web browsing, computer use and file handling, no physical body or robotics. Ratings record technical feasibility, not adoption and not legality.
Raters: Claude Sonnet 5.5 (primary) and Claude Haiku 5.5 (secondary). Consensus per task = modal level, ties resolved to the lower level (with two raters: the lower of the two when they disagree).
adi_isco.csv / .parquet — one row per ISCO-08 unit group (433 rows)
| column | type | unit | definition |
|---|---|---|---|
| isco08 | string (4 digits, zero-padded) | code | ISCO-08 unit group. 433 of the 436 groups; the three armed-forces groups (0110, 0210, 0310) have no O*NET tasks. |
| titulo | string | — | ISCO-08 unit group title (English, from ESCO v1.2). |
| adi_l2 | float64 | share 0–1 | ADI_o: task-weighted share of the occupation's tasks whose consensus level is L2 or L3 (partial delegation or better). Headline index. |
| adi_l3 | float64 | share 0–1 | ADI3_o: task-weighted share at L3 (full delegation). |
| adi_share | float64 | percent 0–100 | ADIs_o: task-weighted mean of share_delegable, the percent of a task's working time an agent could take over. |
| n_tareas | int64 | count | O*NET task statements mapped to the unit group through the crosswalk. |
| barrera_fisica | float64 | share 0–1 | Task-weighted fraction of model ratings flagging barrier_physical (task needs physical presence or manipulation). |
| barrera_responsabilidad | float64 | share 0–1 | Same for barrier_accountability (law, licence or professional liability requires a human to perform or sign). |
| barrera_confianza | float64 | share 0–1 | Same for barrier_trust (task depends on in-person trust, care or persuasion). |
| barrera_acceso | float64 | share 0–1 | Same for barrier_access (task depends on systems, data or places an agent would normally not reach). |
| ic_lo, ic_hi | float64 | percent 0–100 | 95 % percentile interval of adi_share from 1,000 bootstrap draws (tasks resampled within occupation, seed 20261020). |
| sintetico | bool | — | false for every row in this release. true would mark a placeholder row; never cite such rows. |
Task weights w_ot = importance × mean frequency category (O*NET 30.2 Task Ratings), normalised within the O*NET-SOC
occupation, multiplied by the crosswalk weight 1/k (SOC code mapping to k ISCO groups) and renormalised to sum to 1
within the unit group. Seven unit groups (3413, 3511, 4213, 7133, 8155, 8159, 9613) inherit the tasks of their
three-digit minor group (imputado = true in the API JSON).
adi_pais.csv / .parquet — one row per country (146 rows)
| column | type | unit | definition |
|---|---|---|---|
| iso3 | string | code | ISO 3166-1 alpha-3. |
| pais | string | — | Country name (World Bank). |
| ingreso | string | category | World Bank income group, FY2026: high, upper-middle, lower-middle, low. |
| anio | int64 | year | Reference year of the ILOSTAT employment-by-occupation series used (latest available, ≥ 2019). |
| resolucion | string | category | Finest ISCO-08 level the country reports and that passes the completeness rule: isco08_2d (sub-major groups) or isco08_1d (major groups). |
| adi_l2 | float64 | share 0–1 | ADI_c: employment-weighted mean of ADI_o. Within a reported group, unit groups are weighted with four-digit employment from BLS OES 2024 (high income) or Colombia's GEIH (other groups); see paper §4.3. |
| adi_l3 | float64 | share 0–1 | Employment-weighted mean of ADI3_o. |
| adi_share | float64 | percent 0–100 | Employment-weighted mean of ADIs_o. |
| empleo_total | int64 | persons | Total employment (ILOSTAT, EMP_TEMP_SEX_OCU_NB) used as weights. |
| sintetico | bool | — | false for every row in this release. |
World and income-group headlines (in claims.jsonl) are the employment-weighted means of adi_l2/adi_l3 over these rows.
adi_tarea.csv / .parquet — one row per O*NET task statement (18,796 rows)

| titulo | string | — | O*NET-SOC 2019 occupation title the statement belongs to (the title shown to the rater). |
| texto | string | — | Task statement, verbatim from O*NET 30.2. |
| nivel | float64 | level 0–3 | Consensus level across models (lower level on ties). Empty if no model returned a valid rating. |
| share | float64 | percent 0–100 | Consensus share_delegable (median across models; with two models, their mean). |
| minutos | float64 | minutes | Consensus minutes_human: typical minutes a competent human needs for one instance (median across models). |
| n_modelos | int64 | count | Number of models with a valid rating (0–2). |
| barrera_fisica, barrera_responsabilidad, barrera_confianza, barrera_acceso | float64 | share 0–1 | Fraction of models flagging each barrier (0, 0.5 or 1). |
| nivel_haiku | float64 | level 0–3 | Level from Claude Haiku 5.5 (empty if its call failed validation). |
| nivel_sonnet | float64 | level 0–3 | Level from Claude Sonnet 5.5. |

Main pass only; test–retest passes are not included. Gzip is deterministic (mtime 0), so checksums are reproducible.
claims.jsonl — every number reported in the paper
One JSON object per line: id (stable identifier, e.g. titular.global.l2), valor (number or string; percentages are
in percent 0–100, correlations and kappas in −1–1), t (time the analysis wrote it), sintetico (always false) and,
for some entries, nota. Values that were still pending in this version (marked -- in the working file: human
validation, Sonnet wrapper sensitivity, ESCO robustness) are omitted rather than published empty; duplicated ids are kept
once. The LaTeX source of the paper reads its numbers only from these ids.
Key ids: titular.global.l2 (world, % L2+), titular.global.l3 (world, % L3), titular.ingreso.{alto,medio_alto,medio_bajo,bajo}.l2,
h1.pendiente (pp per log GDP), h4.pico.minutos (task length at which P(L3) peaks), agree.kappa.sonnet_haiku.
