Working model: agent-readiness depends less on whether work is digital than on whether intent, action, consequence, and correction remain joinable while the work is happening.
Routine junior work once paid for useful production and professional formation at the same time; agent automation separates those goods and leaves succession needing an explicit operating model.
Professions remain human-anchored where productive context, social standing, or institutional authority must stay bound to a person, even as most surrounding execution becomes agent-operated.
