Why: Because the parent occupation's digital scalar is unknown and there are no child elements to roll up, the score relies on the parent's core activities provided in the anchor. Top activities like 'Repairing and Maintaining Mechanical Equipment' (4.66) and 'Controlling Machines and Processes' (4.34) strongly indicate hands-on, physical work, though 'Making Decisions and Solving Problems' (4.47) introduces some cognitive coordination, placing it at the high end of the physical band.
