"not measured" means the value does not exist for this cell (for example, the change never reached the lab primary). It is never zero.

Answer

The escalation reason, as the model wrote it.

Task D5 says nothing uses orders.external_ref, but production pg_stat_statements shows two live application queries that use it: q09 'insert into orders (customer_id, amount, status, external_ref, created_at) ...' (3119 calls in the baseline window) and q07 'select id, customer_id, amount, status from orders where external_ref = $1 || $2' (22 calls, about 1.3 s each). Dropping the column would make every q07 and q09 call fail with 'column "external_ref" does not exist'. That is a client error caused by the change, and it would break order inserts. No CR step can make the drop safe while the application still sends these statements.
