Data Notes

From Stepzero
Stepzero produces these reports to provide a calm, evidence-first record of how draw patterns unfold over time. The aim is clarity and continuity - a reference point for long-horizon tracking rather than a call to action.
Additional Context
Long-horizon tracking is the only reliable way to separate short-term noise from persistent drift. By logging each outcome against its expected cadence, the system builds a distribution profile that becomes more stable as the sample grows.
Adding to the Long-Term Record
