## Known Limitations
|
|

1. **Data Latency** - Trend data is typically 1-2 weeks behind current events
|
|
2. **Regional Variation** - Trends vary by geography; US-focused in this version
|
|
3. **Demographic Blind Spots** - Analyzes public/digital behavior only
|
|
4. **New Categories** - Emerging verticals may lack historical data
|
|
5. **Qualitative Analysis** - Still requires human judgment for final decisions
|
|
6. **API Costs** - Premium data sources require paid subscriptions
|
|
