Dutch term or phrase: toepassingsmogelijkheden

In een tekst over facilitatievaardigheden wordt gesproken over de 'toepassingsmogelijkheden' van een bepaalde facilitatiemethode. Dit wordt nog verder uitgesplitst naar 'mogelijkheden' en 'contra-indicaties'. Ik vraag me af of er nog andere mogelijkheden zijn dan 'applicability' om dit te vertalen. NB. De term wordt als kopje gebruikt.
TIA

Notes to answerer

Asker: Bedankt Maria!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

agree

Lianne Van De Ven: m.n. met "explanation" - soms slechts "application" vs "contra-indications."

25 mins

-> Dank je!

agree

Tina Vonhof: with 'possible applications' and with Lianne.

2 hrs

-> Thanks!

agree

Jennifer Barnett: I agree with 'possible applications' with 'contraindication' (concise OED) for 'contra-indicaties'.

6 hrs

-> Thanks!

neutral

xxxjarry: Fight the fog! Keep it simple. See my suggested answer. If you use "Applications" in a heading it would automatically suggest and convey that they are possible. Both 'possible' and 'possibilities' in your answer are superfluous, hence the fog!

potential application

Explanation:
from the three "Ps" I would rather go for potential as opposed to possible and probable.
