+ ## ⚠️ Limitations & Future Directions
120
+
121
+ ### Current Limitations
122
+ - **Process Validation:** Flowcharts are LLM-generated and benefit from expert validation for domain-specific accuracy (validation process ongoing)
123
+ - **Source Linking:** Not all processes yet linked to specific research papers (work in progress per Quality Standards)
124
+ - **Scale:** Current database (313 processes) represents proof-of-concept; target is 1,000+ processes
125
+ - **Domain Coverage:** Some disciplines better represented than others; actively expanding coverage
126
+ - **LLM Dependency:** Framework requires LLM access (Google Gemini 2.0 Flash); alternative models may produce different results
127
+ - **Complexity Limits:** Very complex processes (>100 nodes) may require manual refinement
128
+
129
+ ### Future Work
130
+ - **Expansion:** Scale to 1,000+ processes across all disciplines (see DISCIPLINE_DATABASES_PLAN.md)
131
+ - **Validation:** Implement systematic peer review process for process flowcharts
132
+ - **Source Integration:** Enhanced linking to research papers using vector search from 23,246+ indexed papers
133
+ - **Automation:** Automated source paper suggestion and linking
134
+ - **Quality Assurance:** Systematic validation framework for flowchart accuracy
135
+ - **Multi-LLM Support:** Extend to support multiple LLM providers for comparison and validation
136
+ - **Interactive Refinement:** User interface for iterative flowchart improvement
137
+
138
+ ### Known Areas for Improvement
139
+ - **Accuracy Validation:** Not all flowcharts yet validated by domain experts; systematic validation in progress
140
+ - **Source Citations:** Some processes need additional source paper citations (work in progress)
141
+ - **Cross-Discipline Links:** Enhanced cross-referencing between related processes across disciplines
