DRB-3 · Prospective Aggregate

Primary Aggregate Results

One fixed prospective cohort. Frozen pregame structure first. Outcomes remain dark until the untouched-forward holdout permits them.

Descriptive research only · Canonical observations were frozen before first pitch · Results never retroactively change the Board

Primary cohort window: first successful canonical date on/after Aug. 18, 2026 through Sep. 27, 2026. Earliest outcome reveal: Sep. 28, 2026 America/Chicago.
