Answer
They can validate parameters before object creation.
Static factory methods can include logic to validate input parameters and throw exceptions if the parameters are invalid. This ensures that only valid objects are created. For example, a method `createPositiveNumber(int value)` can check if the value is positive before returning an instance.
