“If you wonder about how stable your claims about existence are, would it make sense to merely investigate the existence and the very patterns and suggest in your section on further research for others to take generalizations forward?” (Amann, 2016).

This certainly is one option. I need to balance that possibility with the existing theory from the rest of the world, in which many categories (dimensions, scales and so on) have already been delimitated. Thanks for your comment.
