-  Defines how much of a process's capacity is available throughout the year.
+  Defines constraints on process availabilities throughout the year.
 
 notes:
-  - Must be provided for every process.
-  - Only one type of limit can be supplied for each combination of process/region/year/time slice.
+  - Limits can be combined across multiple time periods. For example, users could provide a limit
+    of "..0.9" for "winter.day" and "..0.5" for "winter", indicating that the activity can reach
+    up to 90% during winter days, so long as activity does not exceed 50% across winter as a whole.
+  - Incompatible limits will be flagged at the input validation stage. For example, a limit of
+    "..0.01" for "winter" would likely be incompatible with a limit of "0.9.." for "winter.day".
+  - If a limit is provided for any time slice (or season) for a particular process/region/year, it
+    must be provided for all time slices (or seasons).
