All 34 rated business courses by band, with their published exposure numbers. Use the fleet as calibration for your own scoring: run the five questions on a few of these and see whether you land where the catalog did.
| Course | Exposure | One-line reason |
|---|
| Airbnb cleaning | 2 | Physical outcome at a property, local trust, rule structure a human satisfies |
| Cleaning | 2 | The clean is produced by a person in a stranger's home; software lands on overhead only |
| Handyman | 2 | Trucks, tools, water, weight, blame |
| Junk removal | 2 | Equipment, hauling, on-site accountability |
| Laundry pickup | 2 | No model picks up a duffel; flagged risk is platform dependence, not the deliverable |
| Lawn care | 2 | Judged at the curb; the parts software touches got easier |
| Micro bakery | 2 | Cottage food law plus a physical product |
| Notary loan signing | 2 | Pure accountability: a commission and a journal |
| Party rental | 2 | Equipment economics plus event-day accountability |
| Pet waste removal | 2 | Recurring physical route, local trust |
| Pressure washing | 2 | Water, weight, blame, presence |
| Course | Exposure | One-line reason |
|---|
| Appliance repair | 3 | The threes pattern: a slice automates, the spine (hands, diagnosis, warranty) holds |
| Car restoration | 3 | Vehicle trade; a slice automates, the physical spine holds |
| Drone services | 3 | Aircraft fly themselves more each year; Part 107, shot judgment, and liability are human |
| Mobile beauty care | 3 | Licensed, in-person service; the automation story does not touch the spine |
| Mobile detailing | 3 | Vehicle trade; a slice automates, the physical spine holds |
| Remote home service | 3 | Software-mediated coordination without changing what happens at the door |
| Video editing | 3 | Auto-cutting and captioning accelerate; the retained hour is judgment: pacing, voice, what to cut |
| Course | Exposure | One-line reason |
|---|
| Amazon FBA | 5 | Knowledge-and-content side of retail; a machine can produce a credible version of the average deliverable (listing, copy, research) |
| KDP self-publishing | 5 | AI can write books, which is why Amazon caps uploads and requires disclosure; topic research and craft remain |
| Online course business | 5 | Knowledge business; a credible version of the average deliverable generates, the adaptation is teachable |
| Online fitness coaching | 5 | Programs generate instantly; accountability does not |
| Paid newsletter | 5 | Text generates; the owned email list is the gate nobody else can close |
| Virtual assistant | 5 | Calendar and inbox work automates; the answer is climbing the retainer ladder toward judgment |
| YouTube channel | 5 | The monetization gate and platform policing hold a floor; the audience relationship is the asset |
Closed for beginners (7 to 8) or no lane (9 to 10). No course in the catalog lives here: one business scored here in the 2026 review and was removed. A 6 here means enter with your eyes open and your deflection built on purpose, not "avoid."
