- Should be used as a decision support tool, not sole decision maker
- Financial projections should be validated independently
- Market data should be cross-referenced with independent sources

## Privacy & Security

- All uploaded documents are processed locally
- No data is sent to external services without explicit consent
- Investment analysis reports are saved locally only
- Sensitive information should be redacted before processing if needed
