How we work in Houston
Choosing the canonical unit costs an afternoon now
At the start it's one line in the schema and a paragraph in the document. Six months later it's a migration over rows nobody knows how to read, with two people arguing whether that 180 was centimeters or inches. Same decision, very different prices.
You can postpone the switch, not the column
The first version can show a single scale, the one the people using it think in. That can be changed any Tuesday afternoon. What can't be changed is three months of measurements stored with no record of the unit, because there is nothing left to infer.
Pilot data stays forever
Almost no pilot gets thrown away: what was loaded for the trial ends up being the production history. That's why the first import deserves the same care as the last, with the unit declared in the file header and checked before anything touches the database.
An undocumented default is an assumption
Defaulting the form to pounds is fine as long as it's written down and visible on screen. The problem shows up when the unit exists only inside the code and whoever fills the form has a different one in mind. Nobody notices until an odd order comes out.
