O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
