Writing honest model cards
The failure section is the most useful part of a card. Do not skip it.

People read a card to decide whether to trust a model with their data. The section that helps most is the one authors skip: where it fails.
List the inputs you never trained on, the languages it handles badly and the evaluations where it lost. Readers will trust the rest of the card more for it.
