## Digital Scalar

**Band**: digital
**Digital**: 0.8
**Rationale**: Since no child occupations are seeded, the scalar is derived from the NAICS industry lens and description. The core functions—administration of housing programs, urban planning, and community development—are primarily bureaucratic government processes. This entails heavy desk-based knowledge work, such as policy drafting, document review, and data analysis, placing the sector's output securely in the digital band.
