## Digital Scalar

**Band**: hybrid
**Digital**: 0.35
**Rationale**: The composite description and anchored typical employees (Lifeguards, Exercise Trainers, and Recreation Workers) indicate that the core value delivery is heavily hands-on, physical, and outdoor-oriented. However, the presence of orchestration and administrative departments like Fund Development, Council Registration, and Risk Management introduces necessary knowledge-work, resulting in a physical-leaning hybrid scalar.
