How We Rate Using THE PC Model™
By LastJobStandingSeptember 2025
1 min readResistance Rating: 5.0/5
Our first job analyses are now published. We can't wait to see how your ratings compare with ours.
We will analyze jobs using our own framework, which we have named The PC Model™. Each job's resistance is rated across five parameters: Turf protection, Human connection, Ethical judgment, Physical presence, and Creative innovation. We will give our resistance rating on a scale from 0-5, and so can you. The parameters are explained below.
We hope you will find this site both entertaining and thought-provoking!
THE PC Model™ is trying to assess job vulnerability to AI automation over a 10-year horizon from the date the article is written. Rather than just asking "Will AI replace this job?" it asks "How will this job transform, and what defenses does it have?".
All ratings are trying to project 10 years forward, which itself is hard given AI's unpredictable development pace and a potentially changing regulatory environment.
Note: These projections represent our current analysis of a rapidly evolving job market. We encourage readers to apply critical thinking and develop their own informed perspectives.
THE PC Model™ Resistance Rating
The Five Factors are given 0, 0.5, or 1 star each.
T - Turf Protection: Barriers to Entry
The combined regulatory, institutional, and economic barriers that prevent automation from entering this profession. This includes licensing requirements, union protection, and situations where automation costs exceed human labor costs. Strong turf means even if AI could do the job, humans remain protected by these barriers.
Need for genuine empathy, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal understanding. Covers reading social dynamics, managing stakeholder conflicts, providing emotional support, navigating the messy intersection of human needs.
Complex moral decisions requiring human values, cultural context, and accountability. Includes life-or-death choices, interpreting gray areas, decisions where someone must be held responsible.
Hands-on interaction with the unpredictable physical world. Includes medical procedures, emergency response, skilled trades, managing physical chaos.
Spontaneous creativity, improvisation, and original thinking beyond pattern recognition. True innovation versus iteration, turning unexpected situations into opportunities.
