- This ontology does not detail specific policy terms and conditions beyond what is explicitly mentioned in the search results.
- It does not provide a comprehensive list of all travel insurance providers, only those frequently appearing in the search data.
- It lacks quantitative data on market share, sales volume, or conversion rates for any specific brand or product.
- The ontology does not include detailed information on the claims process beyond general mentions of 'delays' or 'denials'.
- One node, where the model could not provide a basis search query, had **actual collected queries** (including related searches and PAA) overlapping with the label, which were found by rule and attached as evidence. The evidence for these nodes is only recognized as 'derived'.
