Effective low-energy models are a central cornerstone for understanding emergent phenomena in quantum materials. These models, often containing only a small subset of the original degrees of freedom, capture the low temperature dynamics while being tractable to a variety of numerical and analytical techniques enabling quantitative results even in the strongly correlated limit. As such, a faithful method to derive such low-energy models is essential. In this talk, we will introduce an exact framework for deriving effective models and extract known approaches from it. We further introduce conditions under which an effective model is guaranteed to capture the effective dynamics of the material. Within this framework, we then discuss what material classes display relevant corrections beyond standard downfolding approaches and we explain the physical origin of these corrections.
