How the projection works

The model starts from your role's automation exposure score. High-exposure work faces downward wage pressure as the supply of people who can do it effectively expands; low exposure work drifts with normal inflation. Personal AI fluency then pulls the number back up, because the productivity gain has to land somewhere — either with you or with your employer.

Figures are directional, in today's dollars, and ignore promotions, location and industry cycles. Treat the gap between the three scenarios as the signal, not the absolute numbers.
