The difference is the methodology.
Plenty of tools will give you an AI-exposure number. Very few will show their work. JobRoute is the one engine that is open, reproducible, and source-traceable, and that serves individuals, employers, and government from the same data graph. Here is the honest landscape, by approach rather than by vendor.
| Consumer calculators | Enterprise platforms | One-off studies | JobRoute | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Every number traces to a named source | — | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Reproducible, version-locked methodology | — | — | ~ | ✓ |
| Per-occupation, task-level granularity | ~ | ✓ | ~ | ✓ |
| Methodology published openly | — | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Refreshes as new data lands | — | ✓ | — | ✓ |
| Serves individuals | ✓ | — | — | ✓ |
| Serves employers (CHRO) | — | ✓ | — | ✓ |
| Serves government / workforce boards | — | — | — | ✓ |
✓ yes · ~ partial · — no. An honest read of typical approaches, not a claim about any specific product. JobRoute's methodology is public.
Common questions
How is JobRoute different from a "will AI take my job" calculator?
Most consumer calculators still run on the 2013 Frey and Osborne occupation-level probabilities and do not disclose their method. JobRoute scores exposure at the task level from six attributed public datasets (O*NET, ESCO, Lightcast, the Anthropic Economic Index, WEF, and BLS) with a published, version-locked methodology, so the same inputs always reproduce the same score.
How is JobRoute different from an enterprise talent-intelligence platform?
Enterprise platforms are typically proprietary black boxes that publish no reproducible methodology and serve only employers. JobRoute publishes its formula and sources, is auditable, and runs one engine for individuals, employers, and government from a single data graph.
Why not just read the WEF or McKinsey reports?
Those studies are authoritative but episodic, and they rarely reconcile their numbers against each other or let you query a specific occupation. JobRoute operationalizes those public sources into a reproducible, per-occupation score you can act on.
See the open methodology, then take the score.
