limitation-and-risk-writer

separate

Acknowledges limitations in sample, design, measurement, and validation in a professional way that improves credibility without undermining the whole paper. Use when writing the limitations paragraph of a Discussion section, preparing a grant risk assessment, responding to reviewers about study weaknesses, or framing scope boundaries for a paper. Also triggers on "write my limitations", "how should I address the limitation of", "reviewer said my sample is too small", or "help me word this limitation".

When to use

• Writing the limitations subsection within a Discussion section
• Drafting a risk/limitation assessment section for a grant proposal
• Responding to peer-reviewer criticisms about study weaknesses
• Framing the boundary conditions of the study's conclusions
• Rewriting a limitations section that is either too dismissive or too self-defeating

When not to use

• Fabricating limitations that the user has not identified
• Providing clinical advice about whether the study's weaknesses invalidate its conclusions for patient care
