│  1. FAIRNESS                                                 │
│     • No discrimination across user demographics             │
│     • Balanced performance across transaction types          │
│     • Equal accuracy for all amount ranges                   │

│  2. TRANSPARENCY                                             │
│     • Explainable predictions (method attribution)           │
│     • Open-source code (no black boxes)                      │
│     • Clear confidence scores and uncertainty                │

│  3. PRIVACY                                                  │
│     • Zero external API dependencies                         │
│     • No PII collection or storage                           │

│  4. ACCOUNTABILITY                                           │
│     • Human review for low-confidence predictions            │
│     • Audit logs for all decisions                           │

⚠️ Low Confidence Prediction
This transaction was flagged for review because:
• Unknown merchant: "XYZ Corp"
• Low confidence: 65%
• Methods disagreed: Rule="shopping", ML="professional_services"

Please verify the category is correct.

## Known Limitations

1. **Person-to-Person UPI Transfers**: Cannot reliably determine intent.
   Recommendation: Manually categorize these transactions.

2. **New Merchants**: First-time merchants may be miscategorized.
   Recommendation: Provide feedback to improve future predictions.

3. **Ambiguous Transactions**: Some transactions genuinely fit multiple categories.
   Recommendation: Choose the category that best matches your budgeting needs.
