Column name "cost_usd" is a strong additive signal (cost, currency unit). Numeric evidence confirms: contains zeros (26.5%), strictly non-negative, unbounded upper range, mean far from 1.0 (0.024), center-of-mass consistent with absolute extensive quantity. This is a cost amount that accumulates when volumes merge - classic real_additive. </reasoning> <table_type_conflict>false</table_type_conflict> </result> ```
