Multiplier
A normalized measure of drought depth calculated as drought length divided by 1,000, used to classify rarity across eras.
Why It Matters
Raw drought counts are hard to compare; multipliers provide a normalized scale for rarity and depth.
How Stepzero Uses It
Reports and Oracle responses use multiplier tiers to describe whether a drought is shallow, deep, or extreme.
Example
A drought of 7,400 draws maps to a 7.4x multiplier.
