When is a gap in partner capability an governance defect rather than a recruitment problem?
| Possible gap | What it looks like | Better question |
|---|---|---|
| Activity gap | A necessary task is absent | What work has no owner? |
| Position gap | Two actors perform the same role or nobody has authority | Which role is empty or duplicated? |
| Link gap | Activities exist but cannot exchange what the next step needs | What information, timing, or incentive is missing? |
| Dependency gap | One actor's failure blocks the whole promise | Which dependency has no recovery path? |
