AMWI for CFOs

Your board is asking.
AMWI has the answer.

What is our financial exposure to AI-driven workforce change? What does it cost us to get ahead of it versus react? AMWI answers in dollar terms — the only language that belongs in a board presentation.

The CFO problem

Flying blind on AI workforce cost exposure

CFOs currently have no standardized framework to quantify AI-driven workforce cost exposure. They know AI is restructuring labor costs but lack the tools to translate that knowledge into planning figures that can sit alongside capex, headcount budgets, and margin forecasts.

AMWI's Workforce Cost Modeler outputs payroll-at-opportunity and payroll-at-risk figures by occupation. It gives you the first credible financial planning tool built specifically for this problem.

What AMWI gives CFOs

Revenue Impact Score

A 0–100 index of AI-driven output opportunity or displacement risk per occupation. Positive = augmentation upside. Used to calculate payroll-weighted dollar exposure in the Workforce Cost Modeler.

Profit Impact Score

A 0–100 index of AI-driven efficiency and margin potential. Incorporates AI exposure score and salary premium signal. Higher = stronger case for AI investment in that role.

Payroll-Weighted Exposure

Headcount × average occupation salary × AI Impact %. A directional estimate of the payroll at opportunity or at risk — the figure boards want to see.

3-Year Projection

Forward projections by occupation group and individual role. How your payroll exposure changes as AI capabilities and employer adoption accelerate. Updated monthly.

Why AMWI is in your board presentation, not just your HR platform. A CFO who uses AMWI has just made GlobalProsResearch part of the company's official financial planning record — built on an independent, multi-model, BLS-integrated research foundation that can be cited, audited, and defended.

AMWI for TA & Recruiters

Hire for the role as it will exist, not as it existed.

AMWI tells you which roles to hire for aggressively now, which to redesign before posting, and which to stop backfilling — with occupation-level job description guidance updated monthly.

For Heads of TA

Strategic hiring decisions in an AI-disrupted market

The AI Readiness classification gives you a clear decision framework: AI Disrupted occupations (≥60% exposure) require immediate role redesign or AI-augmented skill requirements. AI Augmented occupations (30–59%) need monitoring and a transition plan. AI Resilient occupations (<30%) can be hired traditionally near-term.

AMWI's TA-specific recommendation corpus covers all 923 occupations — how to update job descriptions, reweight hiring criteria, restructure roles, and price for AI skills in the current market.

For Senior Recruiters

Monthly job description and salary intelligence

AMWI's recruiter-specific recommendations — one per occupation, updated when scores change — tell you how to structure job descriptions for AI-era roles, what skills to require, and what the AI salary premium signals about your immediate market opportunity.

AI Salary Premium by Occupation

What employers are currently paying for AI-capable workers vs non-AI postings in the same role. May 2026 mean: +31%. Updated monthly. A leading indicator 12–18 months ahead of BLS wage data.

AI Posting Share by Occupation

What percentage of job postings in each occupation mention AI skills, AI tools, or AI-adjacent responsibilities. Software developers: 34% (up 15pp YoY). Legal: 28% (fastest accelerating).

What AI Measured Workforce Intelligence answers

The three questions every CFO and TA leader needs answered

Exposure scores tell you what AI can do. AI Measured Workforce Intelligence tells you what it means financially , and what to do about it.

📈

Revenue impact

For each occupation: how much does AI change this role’s contribution to top-line revenue? Does AI augment output (Revenue Opportunity) or reduce the role’s revenue-generating function (High-Exposure Watch)?

💵

Profit impact

For each occupation: how much does AI change the role’s contribution to margin and efficiency? Which occupations should you invest in AI training for the highest profit uplift per employee?

🛠

Recommended action

For each occupation: a specific talent action , Increase hiring, Continue & train, Maintain & monitor, or Restructure. Based on the combination of AI exposure, revenue impact, and profit impact.

INCLUDED IN AMWI

AI Readiness Indicator

Every occupation classified monthly as AI Disrupted, AI Augmented, or AI Resilient. For each occupation, AMWI identifies which of the 21 O*NET work styles predict success in AI-impacted roles , including analytical thinking, adaptability, initiative, and attention to detail , and provides recruiters and TA leaders with specific guidance on exactly how to use this in the hiring process.

For TA professionals
Which skills to add or drop. What salary to budget. How to restructure the role.
For recruiters
Which work style traits to prioritise in screening. How to assess AI-readiness in candidates. Which AI skills to require in the job description.

Why not the alternatives

Every other option leaves a gap

The question isn't whether to use data for workforce AI decisions. The question is whether your data can actually answer the financial questions your CFO and board are asking.

Alternative
McKinsey / Big consulting
What's missing

A one-time engagement produces a point-in-time snapshot. AI exposure scores change monthly. By the time the deck is delivered, the data is stale, no mechanism for ongoing monitoring.

AMWI advantage

923 occupations re-scored every month. Revenue and profit impact updated automatically. CFO-ready output without a six-figure engagement and a 90-day turnaround.

Alternative
LinkedIn Talent Insights
What's missing

Tells you supply and demand dynamics for talent. Doesn't tell you whether the role itself is changing, how AI exposure affects revenue or profit contribution, or what your CFO should do.

AMWI advantage

AMWI answers the question behind the talent question: is this role's financial contribution changing? Should I grow it, redesign it, or wind it down? LinkedIn can't answer that.

Alternative
Internal HR / people analytics
What's missing

Internal data reflects your current workforce, no external AI exposure benchmark, no monthly posting signal, no cross-occupation financial impact scores to compare against market.

AMWI advantage

Market-level benchmark across 923 occupations updated monthly. Your internal data + AMWI = the complete picture. Most enterprises use both alongside their existing HRIS.

Alternative
Do nothing / wait
What's missing

Six occupation groups are on track to cross the AI Disrupted threshold within 36 months. Companies making hiring decisions today are setting their workforce cost structure for 3–5 years.

AMWI advantage

Monthly monitoring means you catch threshold crossings before they become restructuring emergencies. Early movers hire ahead of the AI salary premium spike. Late movers pay and replace at scale.

The question your board will ask

"What is our exposure to AI workforce disruption and what is it costing us?", AMWI is the only product that answers both halves with monthly data and occupation-level precision.

How the platform is built

Methodology

Three independent data layers, integrated monthly. Each with its own sourcing, update cadence, and documentation.

Layer 1 · AI Exposure Index

Moravec's Paradox scoring framework

The AI Work Exposure Index applies a proprietary scoring framework grounded in Moravec's Paradox — the principle that AI finds cognitively complex tasks more automatable than tasks requiring physical dexterity or embodied tacit knowledge.

Each of the 19,000 O*NET tasks is scored across four dimensions. The four scores combine using a proprietary weighting function to produce the task-level exposure value.

Performance variance

How consistently can AI perform this task across varied contexts? Low-variance, well-defined tasks score higher.

Tacit knowledge intensity

How much relies on embodied, experiential knowledge difficult to encode? High intensity suppresses the score.

Data abundance

Is sufficient training-relevant data available for AI to have learned this domain at scale?

Algorithmic gap

Is there a known pathway to automating this task, or does it require capabilities current AI architectures lack?

Independence statement. The AI Exposure Index is independently developed by GlobalProsResearch. No affiliation with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or any academic institution. Methodology is proprietary. Scoring is neutral by design.

Layer 2 · BLS Employment Data

Bureau of Labor Statistics OES integration

Employment counts from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OES) program, mapped to 928 O*NET SOC occupation codes. A proprietary nowcast adjustment updates annual BLS data to the current quarter.

Attribution. Employment data sourced from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, OES program. BLS data is public domain. GlobalProsResearch's BLS-to-O*NET SOC mapping methodology is proprietary.

Layer 3 · AI Job Posting Signals

Monthly employer AI adoption signals

A data license with a proprietary job posting database covering ~95% of U.S. job postings. Each month we extract the percentage of postings mentioning AI skills, AI tools, or AI-related work by O*NET occupation code.

The posting signal is a leading indicator — employer intent before actual workforce changes appear in BLS data. A lag of 12–18 months between employer skill signaling and measurable employment impact is a reasonable planning assumption.
