Within the industry itself, informal classification breaks down even further. The distinctions may seem trivial to many people, but the *precarious* legal definition and differing standards.


not well founded: based on uncertain premises or unwarranted assumptions ( formal )
Could anyone use it in another sentence?

Thanks

Precarious = uncertain, dependent on chance, insecure, perilous.
In your example, I think "uncertain" would be your best definition.
Another use:
His perch on top of the flagpole became even more precarious when the wind started to blow hard.
