## Digital Scalar

**Band**: physical
**Digital**: 0.2
**Rationale**: With no child JobTypes provided, I derived the score from the composite's name and description. The core value-producing work of a 'Private Label Retail Tissue Manufacturer' (inheriting from NAICS 322291) is distinctly physical, dominated by roles like Rewinder Operator, Log Saw Operator, and Maintenance Millwright in departments like 'Converting Operations' and 'Wrapping & Case Packing'. While supported by some digital back-office roles (Retail Replenishment Analyst, Substrate Buyer), the enterprise's primary output requires hands-on material handling and machinery operation, placing it firmly in the physical band.
