## Digital Scalar

**Band**: hybrid
**Digital**: 0.55
**Rationale**: Based on the LENS prior for a NAICS 62133 mental health practice, this composite is heavily staffed by Marriage and Family Therapists (37%), Clinical Psychologists (32%), and mental health counselors (26%). The core value-producing work blends direct, interpersonal human interaction for therapy and peer support with intensive administrative and digital workflows in its Revenue Cycle, Targeted Case Management, and Health Information Management departments, placing this firmly in the hybrid band.
