}Limitations and assumptions
Coverage is limited to the topic table above. Stored wording may be abbreviated and does not provide a complete external corpus, report, benchmark inventory or updated forecast.
Every listed input requires an explicit value. Unexpected fields, incorrect value types, nonfinite numbers and sparse numeric arrays fail validation; tool-specific bounds and alignment rules apply as described above. Extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. An input error is distinct from a successful calculation that reports a false comparison or retains unknown evidence.
