 °F for temperature; Ω, kΩ, MΩ for resistance; etc.).
 
+SI prefixes (k, M, µ, n, p, etc.) are not separate units — they are a presentation
+layer on top of a unit. `25kΩ` should be parsed as value `25000`, prefix `k`, unit
+`Ω`, and stored as `{ value: 25000, unit: "Ω" }` (or in a canonical base unit).
+The prefix is re-applied on display based on the magnitude. This keeps comparisons
+and conversions clean without treating kΩ and MΩ as distinct unit types.

 This would allow:
-- Entering values in any compatible unit and storing in a canonical unit internally
-- Displaying in the user's preferred unit
-- Parametric search with cross-unit comparisons (e.g. `temp_range > 200K` matching
-  a component with `temp_range = -73°C`)
