From Stepzero
At Stepzero, the priority is accuracy and context. This report is intended as a historical record entry, not a forecast.
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.

In the broader record, this return adds one more entry to the long-horizon record. Stability comes from the growing record, not any one draw.
