📖What it means
One specific thing that should exist and does not — an undocumented metric, an undefined term, an unmonitored process. Naming a gap is how it becomes work; hiding it is how it becomes a surprise.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Coverage
A gap is one instance; coverage is the aggregate.
Not: Defect
A gap is something absent; a defect is something present and broken.
