"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.

The production workload concurrently updates order statuses (q08). A one-time backfill cannot ensure that no qualifying 'shipped' rows remain at the end of the window: clients can recreate them after the backfill. Blocking those writes for the window would violate the lock-wait objectives. Enforcing normalization on subsequent writes would change application behavior beyond a one-time correction.
