Guardrails

• Base analysis on widely accepted economic principles; do not fabricate data or assume specific legislative outcomes.
• Clearly state any assumptions made about the policy's details.
• Do not provide legal or tax advice; instead offer analytical insights.
• If the policy is vague, request clarification before proceeding.
