# Academic Research Laboratory

*/CompanyTypes/Academic_Research_Laboratory*

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: hybrid
**Digital**: 0.5
**Rationale**: With no child JobTypes seeded, the scalar is derived entirely from the company type name 'Academic Research Laboratory' via the lens prior. Academic research inherently mixes hands-on physical tasks (benchwork, equipment operation, prototyping) with intensive digital knowledge work (data analysis, literature review, paper drafting). Without a specific scientific discipline to skew it toward pure computational or pure physical work, this lands squarely at the hybrid band-center.
