The claim outruns the evidence
A sweeping statement resting on a few comments, or a chart the data cannot support.
If it guesses
"All customers want X" from a handful of comments is a claim you cannot defend when asked.
COPY INTO YOUR INSTRUCTION
Claim only what the evidence supports. Say how many sources you have, say what is not known, and do not draw a chart or conclusion the data cannot back.
