AI can do the arithmetic, build the spreadsheet formula and suggest what to look at. Deciding what the numbers mean for your situation is still you.
Part of Develop models of systems, processes, or products, under the O*NET work activity group Drafting, Laying Out, and Specifying Technical Devices, Parts, and Equipment. Individual tasks below can carry a different label when their own wording calls for it (0 AI-ready, 17 AI-assist, 0 stays human).
