The bottom line

Only about 25% of Specialty Food Retailers is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.

Why: Lacking seeded child occupations or products, the scalar is derived entirely from the NAICS lens and industry description. The core value of 'Specialty Food Retailers' involves the physical handling, stocking, and in-person sales of tangible food items. While inventory and point-of-sale orchestration rely on software, the primary retail work is intrinsically physical, placing it safely in the physical band.
