Balance over time · the pot under drawdown

Year by year · balance, draw, and how it tracks

Deterministic monthly-compounded drawdown: it compounds a steady average return and excludes volatility and sequence-of-returns risk (a poor run of early years depletes a pot faster than a smooth average suggests). A "sustains" verdict means it passes the first test on average, not that it's guaranteed. For thinking, not a forecast.
