Alternative way to say “there are a number of limitations to our analysis” [closed]

I am looking for an appropriate way to say "there are a number of limitations to our analysis", which does not sound so demeaning to the work we have carried out.
I am new to this site so apologies if I haven't gone about this the correct way.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Where will be this published and what exactly do you mean by demeaning? What do you try to avoid? "Limitation" is very commonly used when describing studies. "Within the limitation of this systematic review, there is insufficient evidence.." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27377109

Thanks @Jan. This isn't being published but is going to a client of ours. To be honest I am happy with the term limitations, it is more the "there are a number of", which to my ears sounds quite bad.

Words like inevitably can convey that the limitations are due to the nature of the exercise and not the way you have gone about it.

@Minty that is a really good point and exactly the kind of sentence I was trying to convey.

I don't think limitations has significant "belittling, derogatory" implications in your context (it's certainly less so than, say, deficiencies). But you might consider using caveats instead.

The sentence is fine as it stands. You could say There are limitations to our analysis leaving out the Number of description. It would mean much the same.
Telling the audience that you know of the limitations will be taken as you're being serious about the analysis, not demeaning. You would need to follow this by listing or enumerating the limitations.
