From Stepzero
Simply put: this series is meant to maintain continuity across the record as a reliable record for analysts. The focus is long-horizon context.

Long-horizon measurement matters most when viewed across extended windows. As samples expand, the distribution becomes clearer and anomalies settle into their expected ranges.
