# Consumer Packaged Goods Brand

*/CompanyTypes/Consumer_Packaged_Goods_Brand*

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: hybrid
**Digital**: 0.45
**Rationale**: With no child job types seeded, the scalar is derived entirely from the company type name 'Consumer Packaged Goods Brand' via the lens prior. Producing and distributing physical goods inherently involves heavily physical manufacturing and logistics operations, but operating the 'Brand' introduces substantial knowledge work like marketing, R&D, and supply chain management, placing this composite squarely in the hybrid band at a band-center value.
