The selected measurement follows the object’s longest or specifically defined linear direction.
This value is fixed by scientific or international convention. The definition is exact even when a physical realization has measurement limits.
Vastoscope compares the SI value in metres for this overall vehicle length. A ratio is mathematically valid as a linear span, while the interface identifies when the two selected definitions differ.

Evidence trail
Vastoscope keeps the displayed number separate from its measurement type and certainty. Representative and model-dependent values are intentionally labelled instead of presented as exact edges.
