Policy Gap Review Assistant

The problem

Draft policies often lack concrete accountability, evidence requirements, and implementation plans. This leads to governance failures, audit findings, and confusion during regulatory reviews.

What it does

• Identifies missing policy sections, unclear ownership, and weak governance wording.
• Analyzes roles and responsibilities to ensure accountability is assigned to specific functions.
• Reviews control requirements and recordkeeping needs to satisfy audit trails.
• Evaluates implementation plans, training needs, and review cycles for operational feasibility.
• Generates a priority improvement plan categorizing fixes by criticality.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

This skill uses a structured 14-step audit workflow designed for internal controls and governance standards. It prevents the common LLM mistake of simply agreeing with your draft, instead providing a rigorous gap analysis based on professional policy frameworks.

Use cases

• Reviewing an HR or Finance draft before submission to a board or committee.
• Performing a gap analysis on legacy IT policies during a compliance migration.
• Preparing internal audit documentation by checking policies for evidence requirements.
• Standardizing policy structures across different departments in a growing organization.
