However, "attempt" is a sequential ordinal counter (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) representing retry/iteration numbers, not a ratio or rate. The values are discrete integers starting at 1 with low distinct_fraction (5 unique values), indicating enumerated attempts rather than a continuous measure. While center_near_one is true, this is an artifact of most attempts being first attempts (median=1.0, mean=1.19), not evidence of multiplicative behavior. The column represents "which attempt number" (ordinal position in a retry sequence), making it ordinal_additive where the primary reducer is "last" (final attempt) or "max" (highest attempt reached), and sum is meaningless (you don't add attempt numbers). </reasoning> <table_type_conflict>false</table_type_conflict> </result> ```
