Column name "total_cost_usd" contains strong real_additive tokens (total, cost, currency unit). Center-of-mass is far from 1.0 (mean=0.046, median=0.059), ruling out ratio_multiplicative. Contains zeros (28%), which is inconsistent with multiplicative. All signals converge on real_additive: an extensive cost quantity that accumulates under volume union via sum. </reasoning> <table_type_conflict>false</table_type_conflict> </result> ```
