DATA / METHODOLOGY / TRANSPARENCY
What the occupation atlas shows. And how the data is checked.
Snapshot dated 13 November 2026. Source: Google spreadsheet supplied by the user. The original file remains unchanged. We imported 18,855 unique combinations of occupation title and five-digit KldB code.
Titles are not employment figures
The collection includes historical titles, specialisations and alternative names. Its 18,855 entries are not 18,855 distinct occupations practised today. The official source provides no employment ranking here. The 100 starting points are an editorial selection of familiar occupation titles, beginning with recurring transport, data-entry, manufacturing and administrative tasks. No search frequencies or employment counts for individual occupations are claimed.
Four quality levels
- Heuristically imported: not individually checked.
- Editorially reviewed: only after documented specialist assessment.
- Technically documented: only with a relevant, evidenced application.
- Conflicting data: an automatic warning rule is triggered; no specific technology recommendation.
No individual analyses are currently editorially certified. Conservative warning rules flag 2,023 entries, for example creative or management occupations generically mapped to CNC/robot cells. The original information remains traceable but is not recommended as a technically suitable solution. Automatic rules may miss other problems.
German and English
Both source sheets were read in full. Only 4,200 English records have complete identity/KldB columns and could be linked unambiguously. Elsewhere, the English sheet partly contains translations without identifiers. These are not assigned to occupations without checking. Automatic translations have not received specialist approval.
What people do today
The directory substantiates titles and codes; it does not replace validated activity profiles. Detail pages distinguish this information gap from possible future subtasks. The stated periods are broad scenarios for technical availability, not dates for job losses.
Media and rights
The user supplied nine images and a short film for this project. They are labelled as AI future visualisations, not real MSD installations or customer references. The user commissioned publication of these media on 13 November 2026. Occupation details use relevant industry examples or openly state that no occupation-specific media is available.
AI agents and departments
10,000 AI agents are a scaling target, not an evidenced production fleet. The data source contains 46 distinct occupational fields and ten broad KldB groups. The 13 organisational departments and 100 model roles belong to the existing business reference model; these categories must not be equated.
