Limits¶
This page explains where the public product is still thin, blocked, or forced to speak cautiously. It exists because a polished map or report can easily look more complete than the evidence behind it.
Readers should not have to guess whether a gap reflects missing evidence, weak locality recovery, unresolved chronology, coordinate limits, or a deliberate publication refusal. Those differences matter.
Main Honesty Rules¶
- world publication is broader than country publication, but it is still not a claim of full completeness
- Europe-plus and Nordic are derived filters, not separate scientific products
- country bundles are narrower views that should never carry facts missing from their parent scope
- blocked, thin, or comparator-only rows should stay visibly qualified instead of being quietly promoted by map convenience
What This Page Helps A Reader See¶
- where the repository is still limited by source capture
- where locality recovery remains too weak for stronger geography claims
- where chronology depth is still too thin for confident public wording
- where coordinate quality prevents a record from being shown more precisely
- where a public silence is an honest refusal rather than an oversight
Why Limits Belong On The Public Surface¶
An honest public product does not treat caveats as internal embarrassment. It keeps them visible so readers can understand both the usefulness and the current boundary of what is being shown.
How To Use This Page¶
- read it before reusing a map or report as if it were complete
- read it when a visible geography looks cleaner than expected
- read it when one region seems strangely empty and you need to know whether the reason is scientific, geographic, or procedural
- read it together with reports and maps when the public answer looks stronger than the narrower evidence probably allows
