From Stepzero

Additional 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.
Distribution analysis depends on consistent documentation. Each draw updates the record, allowing analysts to test whether deviations persist, reverse, or revert to expected ranges.
