## Digital Scalar

**Band**: physical
**Digital**: 0.15
**Rationale**: The company type is heavily anchored in physical trades, evident from its parent industry 'Drywall and Insulation Contractors' (NAICS 23831) and key roles like Plaster Casters, Master Plasterers, Drywall Installers, and Tapers. While minor digital orchestration exists through CAD Detailers and Estimators, the core value-producing work is inherently hands-on shop fabrication and field installation.
