#1 because the final validated order places "Screenwriters" first with 87 framework points. It is placed above #2 "Storyboard Artists and Previsualization Artists" by the deterministic evidence, prompt-fit, source-count, and title tie-breaks.
Best evidence
The job most publicly defended as uniquely human is also the one with the clearest contractual AI language, which is a warning sign: studios, writers, and unions already had to define how generative AI can and cannot be used in scripts.
#2 because the final validated order places "Storyboard Artists and Previsualization Artists" here with 87 framework points. It follows #1 "Screenwriters" after those deterministic tie-breaks. It is placed above #3 "Film Editors" by the deterministic evidence, prompt-fit, source-count, and title tie-breaks.
Best evidence
People often frame storyboarding as cinematic intuition, but image and video generation are already aimed directly at rapid shot exploration, concept frames, and cheap previsualization before expensive human polish.
#3 because the final validated order places "Film Editors" here with 87 framework points. It follows #2 "Storyboard Artists and Previsualization Artists" after those deterministic tie-breaks. It is placed above #4 "Casting Directors" by the deterministic evidence, prompt-fit, source-count, and title tie-breaks.
Best evidence
Editors are trusted as storytellers, not button-pushers, yet automated transcription, scene detection, rough-cut assembly, and AI-assisted search are already compressing parts of the editorial workflow.
#4 because the final validated order places "Casting Directors" here with 87 framework points. It follows #3 "Film Editors" after those deterministic tie-breaks. It leads #5 "Voice Actors" by 8 points.
Best evidence
Casting is often treated as instinct, taste, and relationships, but searchable talent databases, self-tapes, performance analytics, and synthetic audition materials are pushing the job toward data-assisted filtering.
#5 because the final validated order places "Voice Actors" at the publication cutoff with 79 framework points. It trails #4 "Casting Directors" by 8 points.
Best evidence
Voice performance is defended as personality and acting, but synthetic voice is already mature enough that performer contracts now include digital-replica protections and consent rules.
