## Digital Scalar

**Band**: digital
**Digital**: 0.75
**Rationale**: Without populated child jobs, the evaluation relies on the company type's description and lens. The specified roles (Neutronics Engineer, Thermal Hydraulics Analyst, PRA Engineer, Licensing Engineer, Core Designer) predominantly perform complex computational modeling, systems analysis, and regulatory drafting. This indicates a focus heavily oriented toward digital and knowledge work, placing the scalar securely in the digital band.
