    "reasoning": "The inspect_columns result shows that all measure columns (Overall, Gender:, Age:, Income:, Education:, Employment:, Race:, Region:, Occupation:) are VARCHAR containing percentage strings like '1.83%'. The only true numeric column is question_number (BIGINT, identifier, range 1..15). To answer the distribution question, I need to: (1) compute stats for question_number directly, and (2) convert the VARCHAR percentage columns to numeric by stripping '%' and casting. I'll write one comprehensive query that computes min, max, mean, median, and spread (stddev) for question_number and a representative sample of the percentage columns across different demographic dimensions.",
