Threshold
A threshold is the point where a pattern becomes worth naming. Below it, the pattern is inside ordinary variation. Above it, it's worth calling out.
Glossary term
The biasfree threshold marks where structural analysis can start without pre-completion distortion.
Why It Matters
Every report that flags something as extreme uses a threshold. Being clear about where the line sits keeps interpretations honest.
How Stepzero Uses It
Stepzero states its threshold on every report that uses one — what counts as hot, what counts as drought, what counts as tail territory — so you can see exactly where the label kicks in.
Example
A combination running at 5× its usual gap crosses the pressure threshold we use to label it a 'high-pressure' row on the Drought report.
