What Is the Gap Analysis?

An industry-calibrated Gap Analysis scans your KA across eight gap types — identifying what's missing, what matters most for your industry, and what companies in your industry typically have.

At the end of your build, Brick-by-Brick analyzes your Knowledge Architecture for eight types of gaps:

Data Gaps — Dimensions or categories with insufficient data points.

Connection Gaps — Areas where data exists but relationships between data points haven't been mapped.

Structural Gaps — Missing links between dimensions that should be connected.

Temporal Gaps — Areas where data is present but may be outdated, lacks historical context, or is missing change velocity and cascade timing.

Governance Gaps — Decision-related knowledge that hasn't been captured — authority, approval processes, delegation patterns.

Purpose Gaps — Identity, values, and cultural knowledge that hasn't been articulated.

Culture Alignment Gaps — Discrepancies between how a company describes its culture and what external signals (reviews, Glassdoor) suggest.

Industry Alignment Gaps — Areas where your company's Knowledge Architecture is missing coverage that your specific industry demands. Calibrated against your Industry Knowledge Architecture to flag gaps that are critical for companies in your space — not generic checklists.

Each gap is classified by severity (Critical, High, Moderate, Low) with industry-specific context: why it matters for your industry, what companies in your industry typically have, and what to consider. The gap analysis is industry-calibrated — a cybersecurity gap means something different for a fintech company than for a landscaping company.
