The column is VARCHAR with percent-formatted strings ("0.0%", "10.0%", "10.2%") plus placeholders ("-", blank), so the "%" unit token is the only strong signal. No numeric statistics, log symmetry or cumprod/cumsum reconstruction are available, and the name "RPW" is ambiguous. The values could be percent-change rates that compound, or static percentage levels or shares, which would not be multiplicative. The column must be parsed to numeric, with "-" and blank treated as null, and then re-tested. The call is low confidence and needs human confirmation.</reasoning> <table_type_conflict>false</table_type_conflict> </result>
