What These Numbers Mean for Your Team
The 75% automatability figure means roughly three-quarters of what a typical Data Entry / Administrative Support person does today can be handled by software — things like transferring information between systems, formatting spreadsheets, populating CRM records, flagging duplicates, and generating routine reports. The tools your team already uses (Excel, Google Sheets, CRM systems) are precisely where automation plugs in most naturally.
What stays human is the remaining 25% — and it matters:
- Judgment calls: Is this duplicate record actually a different person, or a data error?
- Exceptions: When incoming data doesn't fit the expected format, someone has to decide what it means
- Relationships: Communicating with colleagues or vendors when information is missing or wrong
- Accountability: Signing off that a dataset is trustworthy before decisions get made from it
The pay range ($33K–$62K) reflects real variation — higher-paid roles in this category tend to own more of that 25% human judgment work. That's worth protecting.
