A Long-Awaited Return

Combo Profile
The digits in 266 cover a moderate range (2 to 6) with a repeated digit.
Why Droughts Matter
Extended absences are context markers, not forward-looking - they track where outcomes drift from baseline spacing. They help analysts track drift against expected cadence.
