Low gap scores (under 5 open gaps) indicate strong coverage. High gap counts reveal opportunities to create targeted content that closes competitive advantages.
Prioritize gaps tagged as high-impact. Create content that explicitly addresses the missing entities and topics. Re-scan after publishing to verify closure.
Vulnerability assessment based on position loss rate, competitor momentum, and citation instability. Flags prompts where your brand is most likely to lose ground in the near term.
Low risk across 80%+ of prompts indicates stable positioning. Medium or high risk on key category prompts requires immediate attention.
