Is there a term that covers advantages and disadvantages?
Is there a term that refers to both advantages and disadvantages? I'm trying to find a succinct name for a section of a report that summarises advantages and disadvantages of a particular product.
Solution 1:
You might consider consequences or effects or even results.
Solution 2:
"Relative merits". Merits means the advantages, but the phrase "relative merits" is common and suggests a weighing up that would include disadvantages.
