Have you ever found that a ranking drop was due to something unrelated to SEO?

yes i have seen cases where rankings drop even when the usual seo checks look fine. sometimes it can be due to a website redesign, changes in internal linking, slower page speed or even pages accidentally being removed from navigation. i would also check google search console to see whether the drop affetcts specific pages or the whole site before making major changes

Yeah, looking at page level data on GSC would be my first step. The thing with the sitewide data is that sometimes it can mask the reality of some critical URLs that have lost their impressions.

yeah had one turn out to be a redesign breaking internal links lol, took me forever to spot it since i kept blaming the algorithm tbh
 
I think you can try checking Google search console for indexing and crawling issues because sometimes the problem is not visible in normal seo audits.
