## Digital Scalar

**Band**: digital
**Digital**: 0.9
**Rationale**: With no child JobTypes seeded, the scalar is derived from the company type name and description. A 'Shared Services Center' focuses entirely on back-office knowledge work—specifically Procure-to-Pay (P2P), Record-to-Report (R2R), HR, payroll, master data management, and IT services. This represents pure digital information processing and software-based administration, solidly placing it in the digital band.
