# b2b auto auctions teams

*/CompanyTypes/b2b_auto_auctions_teams*

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: hybrid
**Digital**: 0.4
**Rationale**: Lacking seeded job types, the scalar is derived entirely from the company type name 'b2b auto auctions teams'. The operations require a blend of physical work (vehicle handling, lot management, inspections) and digital/administrative work (auction platform management, title processing, and wholesale sales), placing it firmly in the hybrid band.
