## Digital Scalar

**Band**: physical
**Digital**: 0.25
**Rationale**: The company type's core work is rooted in 'Biomass Electric Power Generation', driven by heavily hands-on occupations like Power Plant Operators and Industrial Machinery Mechanics. While control systems and compliance reporting introduce some knowledge work, the primary value generation relies on operating physical digesters, handling agricultural feedstock, and maintaining mechanical equipment.
