Task Tiers (T1 / T2 / T3)

Arco's framework for classifying tasks by complexity and suitability for agentic deployment. T1 is fully automatable; T3 requires human judgement.

The T1/T2/T3 framework is how Arco evaluates a market's suitability for agentic deployment and calculates the operational arbitrage available.

T1 tasks are routine, scripted, high-volume, and low-judgement. Examples: data entry, document processing, email triage, scheduling. Agentic arbitrage is extreme at this tier — 37–50× human throughput at a fraction of the cost. Arco targets markets where T1 tasks dominate the revenue loop.

T2 tasks require moderate judgement and some contextual interpretation. Examples: customer support resolution, content moderation, basic analysis. Agentic deployment is viable under the Stewardship Model with appropriate exception handling.

T3 tasks require regulatory compliance, deep relationship management, or high-stakes judgement. Examples: legal advice, financial regulation, medical diagnosis, complex enterprise negotiation. Human involvement remains mandatory at this tier. Arco explicitly avoids positioning agentic deployment as a T3 solution — this honesty is what makes the broader thesis credible.
