A taxonomy-of-tasks is a structured classification system that groups human activities by shared attributes: cognitive demand level, required skill sets, output modality, and temporal structure. Its parameters are the classification dimensions (e.g. physical-vs-mental, routine-vs-novel) and the hierarchy depth. It persists through institutional use in curriculum design, occupational classification standards, and organizational workflow documentation.
