        "text": "When a conversational search query doesn’t match your public content perfectly, your safest move is to answer the core intent as best you can and acknowledge limits transparently. Avoid bluffing or over‑promising.\n\nUsers trust clear partial answers more than confident but wrong ones.\n\nKey factors:\n- Identify the underlying need behind the specific wording\n- Offer what you can: principles, ranges, or next steps\n- Be explicit about unknowns or variables you can’t control\n- Suggest how the user can refine their query or data\n\nIn practice, respond: “Here’s what generally applies, but X may vary based on Y; here’s how to check.” This keeps the conversation honest and useful.\n\nYou’re aiming for constructive guidance, not perfect precision in every case.",
