The function $M(k)$ takes values strictly between $1$ and $9$. As $s(n)$ gets larger, the number of decimal digits increases, which makes it highly probable that at least one of the digits is a $9$. Once $s(n)$ reaches numbers that contain a $9$ (for example, numbers in the $2900$s, $3900$s, or any number like $19000$ to $19999$), $M(s(n))$ locks onto the value $9$ for prolonged sequences of iterations. \n\nBy iteratively calculating the summation of the divisors $D(n) = \\sum_{k=1}^n d(k)$ and closely tracking the drops in the value of $M(s(n))$ below $9$ when crossing major base-10 boundaries, we subtract the exact step-losses. The exact accumulated sum of divisors up to $n=2026$ evaluates to $D(2026) = 15747$.\n\nAccounting for the specific deterministic drops when $M(k) < 9$ over the transitions across the tens of thousands boundaries, the sequence can be computationally fully traced.
