1. How important do you think it is to see evidence of well-defined model boundaries to provide confidence in the results of a forecast?*
e.g. If an economic forecast suggests market changes that appear credible, but there is no clear indication of the limits of validity (i.e. conditions in which the model will not produce meaningful results), then are the conclusions presented still worthwhile to you? (for example, a forecast of European economic growth patterns may not be valid for Chinese markets where a different political and economic system exists)
