2. **No validation** - This is exploratory, no Layer 1-4 checks
3. **No CIs** - Quick lookup, not statistical analysis
4. **Data freshness note** - Always show when data was last updated
5. **Upsell full analysis** - Suggest full pipeline when appropriate
6. **Cache-first** - Use cached data for speed

## Limitations

- No confidence scores (this is quick exploration, not analysis)
- No Simpson's Paradox checks
- No statistical tests
- Not suitable for investment decisions (use full pipeline)
