CopeCheck Cities scores urban areas on a 0–100 vulnerability index based on workforce composition. Cities with high concentrations in sectors assigned higher exposure weights — retail, admin, manufacturing, finance, and logistics — score higher. These are CopeCheck heuristic weights informed by automation literature; they are not official sector-level probabilities and the score is not a forecast of job losses.

Each bundled city snapshot is broken down by broad industry sector. CopeCheck assigns each sector a heuristic exposure weight and calculates an employment-weighted average, normalised to 0–100 for relative comparison within this dataset. Frey & Osborne (2013) studied occupations, not whole industries; these sector weights are therefore neither official probabilities nor a direct replication of that paper. The data files do not embed record-level observation dates or source ledgers, so results are presented as a historical structural baseline rather than a current statistical release.
