Table 6When is a gap in partner capability a 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?
