The gap

The specific difference between what is stated and what is done.

The part

What it is

Gaps are stated as a pair: what the purpose implies, and what actually happens. One without the other is a complaint rather than a finding.

Keeping them narrow is what makes them actionable. A gap described at the level of culture cannot be closed by anyone in particular.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
