Known limitations

What to keep in mind reading this data — the gaps and caveats we surface rather than paper over.

• Florida's vertical integration, 60% ballot threshold, and MMTC vocabulary should not be copied into other states by default.
• Adult-use and home-grow modules are context/history only until Florida enacts those programs.
• Operator-level trends before May 2019 require aggregate-era caveats.
• Reported Low-THC/CBD category drop-off after late 2024 is source-observed and parser-validated, but interpretation remains pending.
• 2023 intent-to-approve and conditional licenses should not be treated as operating MMTCs until they appear in OMMU reports or registry records.
• Florida's vertical MMTC model should not become the default for other state adapters.
• Ballot and campaign-finance modules matter in Florida because constitutional thresholds shape outcomes.
• Operator lineage includes verified, high-confidence, ambiguous, and review-only relationships.
• Pre-May 2019 reports use different source formats and often support aggregate trend context better than operator-level comparison.
• Split-row operator names and legacy aliases are normalized, but source-era names remain reviewable where identity is ambiguous.
• Nursery/license transfer lineage is strongest when OMMU registry, weekly reports, and corporate sources align; ambiguous chains stay marked for review.
