Additional Context
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. Context improves with scale. As more draws accumulate, isolated anomalies either normalize into baseline rates or reveal persistent deviations that warrant closer monitoring.
