Reading this honestly

Each cell shows how often a digit landed in a particular slot. If the draws are fair, every slot should look like 0–9 picked from a hat — about 10% each, with sample noise. Any heat pattern you can see by eye is almost certainly within that noise band.

Digital root distribution

Sum reduced to a single digit (0–9)

Digital root keeps adding digits until one is left. Reference under uniform digits ≈ 11.1% per class for 1–9, lower for 0.
