From Stepzero
Simply put: this reporting is built to maintain continuity across the record as a reference point for continuity. The focus is long-horizon context.
Additional Context
Distribution analysis depends on consistent documentation. Each draw updates the record, allowing analysts to test whether deviations persist, reverse, or revert to expected ranges. Record-keeping at scale becomes the foundation for analysis. Each outcome, whether typical or unusual, contributes to the stability and clarity of the long-run picture.
Adding to the Long-Term Record
