 ### Execution Methods
 
-#### `.unwrap(): Promise<Awaited<T>>`
+#### `.unwrap(): T | Promise<Awaited<T>>`
 
 Execute the function and return the result. Throws the original error if one occurred. Will mask the error message if `.report('custom message')` is called in the chain.
 
 #### `.default<Return>(defaultValue: Return): Try<T, TArgs>`
 
 Set a default value that will be returned by `.value()` when an exception occurs.
 
-#### `.value(): Promise<Awaited<T> | Return | undefined>`
+#### `.value(): T | undefined | Promise<Awaited<T> | undefined>`
 
 Execute the function and return the result, the configured default value, or `undefined` if an error occurs.
 
-#### `.error(): Promise<Error | undefined>`
+#### `.error(): Error | undefined | Promise<Error | undefined>`
 
 Execute the function and return the error if one occurred, or `undefined` if successful.
 
+Sync functions return values immediately; async functions return Promises.
