What problem does it solve?
Gap Surfacer prevents regulatory policy obligations from being overlooked by maintaining a living tracker of open compliance gaps and related pre-rule watch items, then routing them to the responsible owners with clear due dates.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Gap tracking with remediation status: Ingests gap candidates from policy-diff, de-dupes them, and maintains resolution and lifecycle state (open, in-progress, closed, risk-accepted).
- Overdue and due-soon reporting: Produces role-specific status outputs that distinguish true compliance deadlines from pre-rule watch/comment-decision artifacts.
- Owner notification with safeguards: Sends Slack DM assignment and reminder messages only after per-send user confirmation, with extra warnings when citations or compliance conclusions are involved.
- Citation verification emphasis: Preserves upstream source/verification tags and instructs users to verify citations before closing or certifying compliance.
- Multi-mode operation: Supports both ingestion from policy-diff and producing a status report dashboard-style, plus commands for closing or risk-accepting specific gaps.
Quick Start
Generate a regulatory status report for current open gaps by running the gap surfacer through the regulatory-legal workflow and reviewing the “Open Gaps” sections for overdue, due-soon, in-progress, and watch items.
