The work elsewhere

Gaps something must have filled

Where an outcome chain jumps from one recorded step to the next with time and a state change in between, something did that work and the platform did not see it. 16 gaps of that kind are open across 14 functions, seen 1,389 times in the chains behind them.

Confidence is the raiser's own judgment about whether the gap is real work or a recording artifact.

4 gaps have no filing against them — 3 candidates and 1 blocked. The coverage statement still counts that work as unseen, and filing it through intake is what moves it. File work that happened elsewhere

Actions

What is waiting on a person

Each of these is a gap in an outcome chain that something must have filled.

261

chains sitting behind a gap nobody has filed

SP-0005 · SP-0013 · SP-0014 · SP-0016. Until the work behind these is filed through intake, every one of those chains stays in the unseen share of the coverage statement.

3

candidates nobody has accounted for

A candidate is a hypothesis with a gap behind it and no filing in front of it.

1

candidate blocked from being pursued

SP-0016, Payment proposed to Payment released.

1

hypothesis the evidence barely supports

A weak hypothesis is kept because deleting it would make the board look more certain than the evidence is.

Operations

What this desk is allowed to start

A surface that only reports is not operable.

Trigger and bound

This surface raises a gap as a candidate unobserved process and tracks it to a filing.

Live observability

What the record shows right now

All 16 candidates by how strongly the chain evidence supports the hypothesis, 3 grades in use.

Is policy and strategy coming to fruition

Whether the written intent is holding here

Yes, and it is the only mechanism here that improves the coverage figure.

Holding on the record

The intent was that a gap is raised rather than smoothed over, and that confirming one is how coverage improves over time instead of being guessed once. 12 of 16 candidates have been confirmed by a filing, across 14 functions and 1,389 observed instances of the gap.

What this page is not

A shadow process is a gap in an outcome chain that something must have filled.
