- The exact market share or revenue figures for brands are not included, as search volume does not directly translate to these metrics.
- The ontology is limited to the US market, as specified by the search region.
- For one node, the model could not provide supporting search queries, so **actual collected queries** (including related searches and PAA) overlapping with the label were found by rule and attached as evidence. The evidence for these nodes is only accepted as 'derived'.
- Substandard quality — 50% of measured search queries (114/229) (More than half must be measured to be described as a 'measured market')
