Master Horologist (Senior) vs Stained Glass Restorer (Mid-Level)
How do Master Horologist (Senior) and Stained Glass Restorer (Mid-Level) compare on AI displacement risk? Master Horologist (Senior) scores 77.9/100 (GREEN (Stable)) while Stained Glass Restorer (Mid-Level) scores 69.1/100 (GREEN (Transforming)). Here's the full breakdown.
Master Horologist (Senior): Grande complication restoration at sub-millimetre scale, museum-grade conservation of irreplaceable timepieces, custom part fabrication for movements no longer in production, and maximum cultural demand for human artisanship make this one of the most displacement-proof roles assessed. Safe for 20-30+ years.
Stained Glass Restorer (Mid-Level): Stained glass restorers conserve irreplaceable heritage windows using deeply physical craft skills — lead came work, glass cutting, painting and kiln firing — in unique listed building environments. No AI or robotic system can perform these tasks. Regulatory protection (Listed Building Consent), ICON accreditation standards, and a severe skills shortage reinforce a strong Green position. Safe for 5+ years.

What Do These Scores Mean?
Each role is assessed using the AI Job Resistance Index (AIJRI), a composite score from 0 to 100 measuring how resistant a role is to AI displacement. The score is built from five dimensions: Task Resistance (how many core tasks can AI automate), Evidence Calibration (real-world adoption data), Barriers (regulatory, physical, and trust barriers protecting the role), Protective Principles (human-centric factors like empathy and judgement), and AI Growth Correlation (whether AI growth helps or hurts the role).
Roles scoring above 60 land in the Green Zone (AI-resistant), 40–60 in the Yellow Zone (needs adaptation), and below 40 in the Red Zone (high displacement risk). For full individual assessments, see the Master Horologist (Senior) and Stained Glass Restorer (Mid-Level) role pages.
