Analytical Result Reported Unit

The `reportedUnit` on an AnalyticalResult preserves the original unit of measure from the laboratory's data file.

The reportedUnit on an AnalyticalResult captures the unit exactly as the lab expressed it — for example, "ug/L" or "mg/kg". This original unit is stored alongside the normalizedUnit so compliance staff can always trace back how the conversion was performed. If a result's normalizedValue appears unexpectedly high or low, comparing the reportedUnit with the normalizedUnit helps diagnose whether a unit mismatch in the ImportMappingProfile may have produced an incorrect normalizedValue during import.
