What the historical checks found.
WTN checks return timing, recent pace, historical relationships, and draw structure. The label calibrates the evidence; it does not predict what comes next.

Within normal historyIts most distinctive structural measure was internal spacing, but even that measure did not reach the engine's unusual-event threshold compared with similar historical draws.
