yogsoth-ai Gap Identification
Discover where gaps exist in the research landscape.
When to Use
User has a research area and needs to find what's missing — uncharted territory, under-explored intersections, or absent evidence.

Available Tactics
- evidence-mapping
Available SOPs
Import: web-search, web-research, paper-overview, paper-search, paper-research Subagent: gap-keyword-extraction, concept-matrix-construction, egm-construction
Execution Guidance
Start with broad web-search + paper-overview to map the landscape. Use gap-keyword-extraction to identify gap-indicating sentences. Build concept-matrix to visualize coverage. Construct EGM for structural view of where evidence is dense vs absent.
Output Format
Gap Candidate List with evidence pointers — each candidate includes: gap description, evidence source, confidence level, and location in concept matrix.
Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| evidence-mapping | Systematic evidence map construction — search, classify, locate gaps, visualize. Combines concept-matrix-construction, gap-keyword-extraction, evidence-grading, and egm-construction SOPs. |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| concept-matrix-construction | Build articles × concepts coverage matrix to visualize research landscape and identify empty cells as gap candidates. |
| egm-construction | Build structured Evidence Gap Maps — define axes (intervention × outcome or method × domain), place gaps in cells, annotate with evidence density and quality. |
| gap-keyword-extraction | Extract gap-indicating sentences and phrases from papers/reviews. Identifies linguistic markers of research gaps (e.g., "remains unclear", "has not been explored", "limited understanding"). |
