Problem
The spatial axis uses cubic meters (m³), but column names (Space_min, Space_max) don't make this obvious. A common mistake is entering lengths (meters) or areas (m²) instead of volumes.
Proposal
Add an optional heuristic warning in transform_predefined_processes — if Space_min/Space_max values fall in the 1e-6 to 1e6 range, warn that they look like lengths and suggest calculate_sphere_volume().
The heuristic range is debatable. Make the check optional via a warn_on_lengths=True parameter.
