Task Segmentation
Definition
Breaking a role into its component tasks and sorting each one by what it actually requires: routine execution, pattern recognition, or human judgment. Task segmentation matters because AI agents take over tasks, not jobs. Very few roles are fully automatable, but most contain tasks that are. It is the analytical core of an agentic workforce assessment: segment the work first, then decide what to hand to agents and what to redesign around people.
