The limits
What this method cannot establish, stated before it runs — so the limitation is part of the design rather than a caveat at the end.

What it is
Limits stated in advance shape how the finding is received. Limits added afterwards read as excuses and are ignored.
The most useful limit to state is what would be required to answer the question properly, since that turns a caveat into a proposal.
