Generic job-title calculators tell you nothing useful. They assume every accountant, every lawyer, every marketer does the same work. They do not.
The Fossil Score assessment analyses your specific tasks across five weighted dimensions to give you a personalised score, a species classification, and a survival plan. Free. 4 minutes.
Calculate My Fossil Score NowWhat you get
A 0-100 risk score across five weighted dimensions, with a confidence interval based on the quality of your inputs.
One of six species from Titanosaur (urgent danger) to New Species (building the future). With a one-line assessment of your specific situation.
A prioritised action plan for your specific role. Free courses first. Named tools. Time estimates. Measurable outcomes.
The Methodology
The Fossil Score is calculated across five dimensions because no single factor fully captures AI displacement risk. A doctor who delegates all their thinking to protocols is more exposed than a plumber who solves novel problems every day.
Task Automatability
What percentage of your daily tasks can AI already perform or will be able to perform within 18 months? The assessment analyses your written description against O*NET data and known AI capabilities.
AI Adoption Velocity in Your Industry
How fast is your specific sector deploying AI tools? A financial services professional faces different timelines than a healthcare worker, even if their individual tasks have similar automation potential.
Skill Transferability
How easily can you move if your current role changes? Breadth of experience, technical fluency, and cross-functional exposure all increase your options and reduce your risk.
Relationship and Trust Capital
Do you hold relationships that took years to build and cannot be transferred to an AI? The client who calls you specifically. The supplier relationship that runs through personal trust.
Judgment Complexity
Are your decisions rule-based and repeatable, or do they involve ethical weight, ambiguity, and real accountability for outcomes? Higher judgment complexity means lower AI risk.
Species Classification
Titanosaur
Enormous and slow-moving, already surrounded by threats. Extinction is not inevitable but urgent action is.
Brachiosaurus
Head above water but the climate is changing fast. You have time, but not unlimited time.
Velociraptor
Smart and fast but the meteor is coming regardless. Your intelligence gets you further but is not enough on its own.
Archaeopteryx
Mid-evolution. Growing wings but not yet flying. You are moving in the right direction.
Corvid
Highly adapted, tool-using, and thriving in the new world. You are ahead of most.
New Species
You are building the future, not surviving it. The assessment tells you how to stay here.
Most AI risk tools look up your job title in a database and return a generic score. The Fossil Score asks what you actually do each day and analyses that specifically. An accountant who does M&A advisory has a very different risk profile from one who does basic bookkeeping.
Automation probability is one factor. But your skill transferability, relationship capital, and judgment complexity matter too. Someone with high automation exposure but excellent transferable skills and strong relationships is in a better position than one with moderate exposure and no flexibility.
Adding your LinkedIn URL lets the assessment extract your skills, career history, and company context. This significantly improves the accuracy of the species classification and the specificity of the roadmap.
The output is not a number and a category. It is a 6-month roadmap with named courses, specific tools, and measurable milestones tailored to your specific situation.
Yes. The complete assessment, including your score, species classification, task autopsy, extinction timeline, and 6-month roadmap, is entirely free. No account required. No payment. No paywall.
More accurate than generic job-title tools because it analyses your actual tasks rather than a category average. Accuracy improves with more detailed inputs. The more specifically you describe what you do day-to-day, the more precise the assessment.
Approximately 4 minutes. About 2 minutes for the initial profile and 2 minutes for the adaptive quiz that follows.
Your data is anonymous by default. It is used to generate your assessment and, in aggregate, to power the global statistics on the stats page. You do not need to provide any personal identifying information to get your score.
Yes. Many people retake the assessment 3-6 months after making changes to their skills and approach. It is designed to be used as a progress check, not a one-time event.
The meteor does not care how many years of experience you have.
