ADI v2026.1 — data dictionary

Agent Delegability Index (ADI), release v2026.1. Paper: The Delegation Divide: An Open Index of AI-Agent Delegability across Occupations and Countries (Espinal Maya & Jiménez Londoño, 2026). Preregistration: doi:10.17605/OSF.IO/9ZNTF. Repository: https://github.com/Cespial/delegation-divide. Licence of this folder: CC BY 4.0 (data); see "Third-party sources" at the end.

Every file comes as CSV (UTF-8, comma, header row, . decimal) and, for the three tables, as Parquet (zstd) with the same columns and the types below. Integrity: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS from this folder.

Rating scale (verbatim from scoring/prompts/rubrica_v1.md, frozen at preregistration, SHA-256 bcd076fb…0ea0e46)

  • L0 — No meaningful role. The agent cannot perform or materially speed up any substantial part of the task.
  • L1 — Augmentation. A human performs the task; the AI assists step by step (drafts, searches, suggestions). The human stays in the loop at each step and produces the output.
  • L2 — Partial delegation. An agent can execute substantial sub-steps of the task end to end from a goal specification. A human still has to perform at least one essential step or review and correct the work before use.
  • L3 — Full delegation. An agent can complete the whole task end to end, to the quality a competent worker would accept, given only the goal and access. The human's role is limited to assigning it and accepting the result.

Reference technology (fixed): publicly available AI agents as of October 2026 — frontier language models with tool use, code execution, web browsing, computer use and file handling, no physical body or robotics. Ratings record technical feasibility, not adoption and not legality.

Raters: Claude Sonnet 5.5 (primary) and Claude Haiku 5.5 (secondary). Consensus per task = modal level, ties resolved to the lower level (with two raters: the lower of the two when they disagree).

adi_isco.csv / .parquet — one row per ISCO-08 unit group (433 rows)

column type unit definition
isco08 string (4 digits, zero-padded) code ISCO-08 unit group. 433 of the 436 groups; the three armed-forces groups (0110, 0210, 0310) have no O*NET tasks.
titulo string — ISCO-08 unit group title (English, from ESCO v1.2).
adi_l2 float64 share 0–1 ADI_o: task-weighted share of the occupation's tasks whose consensus level is L2 or L3 (partial delegation or better). Headline index.
adi_l3 float64 share 0–1 ADI3_o: task-weighted share at L3 (full delegation).
adi_share float64 percent 0–100 ADIs_o: task-weighted mean of share_delegable, the percent of a task's working time an agent could take over.
n_tareas int64 count O*NET task statements mapped to the unit group through the crosswalk.
barrera_fisica float64 share 0–1 Task-weighted fraction of model ratings flagging barrier_physical (task needs physical presence or manipulation).
barrera_responsabilidad float64 share 0–1 Same for barrier_accountability (law, licence or professional liability requires a human to perform or sign).
barrera_confianza float64 share 0–1 Same for barrier_trust (task depends on in-person trust, care or persuasion).
barrera_acceso float64 share 0–1 Same for barrier_access (task depends on systems, data or places an agent would normally not reach).
ic_lo, ic_hi float64 percent 0–100 95 % percentile interval of adi_share from 1,000 bootstrap draws (tasks resampled within occupation, seed 20261020).
sintetico bool — false for every row in this release. true would mark a placeholder row; never cite such rows.

Task weights w_ot = importance × mean frequency category (O*NET 30.2 Task Ratings), normalised within the O*NET-SOC occupation, multiplied by the crosswalk weight 1/k (SOC code mapping to k ISCO groups) and renormalised to sum to 1 within the unit group. Seven unit groups (3413, 3511, 4213, 7133, 8155, 8159, 9613) inherit the tasks of their three-digit minor group (imputado = true in the API JSON).

adi_pais.csv / .parquet — one row per country (146 rows)

column type unit definition
iso3 string code ISO 3166-1 alpha-3.
pais string — Country name (World Bank).
ingreso string category World Bank income group, FY2026: high, upper-middle, lower-middle, low.
anio int64 year Reference year of the ILOSTAT employment-by-occupation series used (latest available, ≥ 2019).
resolucion string category Finest ISCO-08 level the country reports and that passes the completeness rule: isco08_2d (sub-major groups) or isco08_1d (major groups).
adi_l2 float64 share 0–1 ADI_c: employment-weighted mean of ADI_o. Within a reported group, unit groups are weighted with four-digit employment from BLS OES 2024 (high income) or Colombia's GEIH (other groups); see paper §4.3.
adi_l3 float64 share 0–1 Employment-weighted mean of ADI3_o.
adi_share float64 percent 0–100 Employment-weighted mean of ADIs_o.
empleo_total int64 persons Total employment (ILOSTAT, EMP_TEMP_SEX_OCU_NB) used as weights.
sintetico bool — false for every row in this release.

World and income-group headlines (in claims.jsonl) are the employment-weighted means of adi_l2/adi_l3 over these rows.

adi_tarea.csv / .parquet — one row per O*NET task statement (18,796 rows)

column type unit definition
task_id int64 code O*NET 30.2 Task ID. Key to ratings_*.jsonl.gz.
titulo string — O*NET-SOC 2019 occupation title the statement belongs to (the title shown to the rater).
texto string — Task statement, verbatim from O*NET 30.2.
nivel float64 level 0–3 Consensus level across models (lower level on ties). Empty if no model returned a valid rating.
share float64 percent 0–100 Consensus share_delegable (median across models; with two models, their mean).
minutos float64 minutes Consensus minutes_human: typical minutes a competent human needs for one instance (median across models).
n_modelos int64 count Number of models with a valid rating (0–2).
barrera_fisica, barrera_responsabilidad, barrera_confianza, barrera_acceso float64 share 0–1 Fraction of models flagging each barrier (0, 0.5 or 1).
nivel_haiku float64 level 0–3 Level from Claude Haiku 5.5 (empty if its call failed validation).
nivel_sonnet float64 level 0–3 Level from Claude Sonnet 5.5.
sintetico bool — false for every row in this release.

ratings_sonnet.jsonl.gz, ratings_haiku.jsonl.gz — raw model outputs (one JSON object per line)

field type unit definition
task_id int code O*NET Task ID.
level int 0–3 Rubric level (L0–L3 above).
share_delegable int percent 0–100 Percent of the task's working time an agent could take over.
minutes_human int minutes Typical minutes a competent human needs for one instance of the task.
barrier_physical, barrier_accountability, barrier_trust, barrier_access bool — Barrier flags as defined in the rubric.
confidence string LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH Rater's self-reported confidence.
modelo string — sonnet or haiku.
rubrica_sha string hex First 16 hex digits of the rubric's SHA-256 (must be bcd076fb705f0f36).
ts string ISO 8601 Local time of the call on the rating machine (no time zone).

Main pass only; test–retest passes are not included. Gzip is deterministic (mtime 0), so checksums are reproducible.

claims.jsonl — every number reported in the paper

One JSON object per line: id (stable identifier, e.g. titular.global.l2), valor (number or string; percentages are in percent 0–100, correlations and kappas in −1–1), t (time the analysis wrote it), sintetico (always false) and, for some entries, nota. Values that were still pending in this version (marked -- in the working file: human validation, Sonnet wrapper sensitivity, ESCO robustness) are omitted rather than published empty; duplicated ids are kept once. The LaTeX source of the paper reads its numbers only from these ids.

Key ids: titular.global.l2 (world, % L2+), titular.global.l3 (world, % L3), titular.ingreso.{alto,medio_alto,medio_bajo,bajo}.l2, h1.pendiente (pp per log GDP), h4.pico.minutos (task length at which P(L3) peaks), agree.kappa.sonnet_haiku.

api/ — static JSON for tools and agents
