"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.

Changing orders.amount from numeric(12,2) to double precision loses exact decimal precision for monetary values and forces a full rewrite of the 5M-row (608 MB) orders table under an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock, while changing orders.created_at to timestamp without time zone rebuilds orders_customer_created_idx and breaks timestamptz index comparisons in active workload query q16 (created_at > timestamptz $3). Executing this in-place under W_prod would violate both the precision preservation requirement and the lock-wait/stall service objectives.
