Column name "Hardware quantity" contains the token "quantity," a strong real_additive signal. The values are strictly positive, large magnitude (128 to 200,000), unbounded upper range, and centered far from 1.0—all consistent with an extensive count or inventory measure. High null fraction (96%) reduces confidence slightly but does not change the classification. No multiplicative evidence present. </reasoning> <table_type_conflict>false</table_type_conflict> </result> ```
