> A disclaimer is when you state a reason why people might want to discount your opinion, usually due to a conflict of interest. E.g., "I work at Revolut."

I believe the word you both are looking for is "disclosure":

No, I was not looking for a different word. Yes, disclosures are one reason for a disclaimer, and the example I gave is one. But you might also do a disclaimer like "I have no first hand experience, but many friends have told me..." again, a disclaimer is exactly as I said, reasons to take the information with a grain of salt or to be aware of the limitations (e.g. legal disclaimers like on prescription medicine commercials.)
