Executive Report Gap Analyzer

The problem

Long business reports often look complete while leaving the most important questions unanswered. They contain recommendations without criteria, targets without baselines, risks without owners, actions without resources, and confident conclusions without enough evidence.

What it does

• Extracts the intended outcome and compares it with the current reality established by the document.
• Maps evidence, gaps, constraints, dependencies, hidden assumptions, and operational burden.
• Separates what the document explicitly states from what must be inferred.
• Finds missing owners, thresholds, deadlines, contingencies, metrics, and escalation paths.
• Identifies contradictions between stated priorities and actual operating requirements.
• Tests whether failure has a real revision trigger or whether the plan can continue regardless of results.
• Produces a prioritized structural delta table and the next five actions.

Why use this skill

Generic summarizers make long documents shorter. This skill makes them harder to fake. Instead of producing another polished summary, it shows the gap between the intended outcome and what the available evidence, resources, controls, and operating conditions actually support.

Use cases

• Board and executive reports.
• Strategy documents.
• Product requirement documents.
• Project and transformation plans.
• Consulting reports.
• Meeting transcripts and action reviews.
• Vendor and internal proposals.

Known limitations

The skill only analyzes the evidence available in the supplied material. It does not invent missing owners, metrics, budgets, deadlines, or commitments. Legal, financial, regulatory, security, and safety-critical judgments still require qualified accountable review.
