Column name "denominator" indicates this is a divisor component of a ratio calculation, not the ratio itself. The values are absolute positive integers (1.0 to 7395.0) representing counts or scale factors used in ratio construction elsewhere. Center far from both 0.0 and 1.0 (mean=337.5, median=39.5), wide spread, and strictly positive with no zeros confirms this is an intensive level quantity. Summing denominators across entities is meaningless; averaging is the natural rollup operation. </reasoning> <table_type_conflict>false</table_type_conflict> </result> ```
