Why Droughts Matter
Deep gaps function as context, not prescriptive - they show how distribution tails behave. They provide a clean read on long-run variance.
Data Notes
Results are evaluated against historical frequency baselines where available. The goal is documentation and context rather than prediction.
From Stepzero
The core idea: these reports are built to sustain continuity in the archive as context for disciplined analysis. The priority is accuracy and continuity.
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.
Long-horizon measurement matters most when viewed across extended windows. As samples expand, the distribution becomes clearer and anomalies settle into their expected ranges.

Adding to the Long-Term Record
