The actual problem
A useful gap is an unanswered audience need that advances your topical system. It is not every phrase another domain happens to rank for.
Example gap report
Input: 42 existing authentication URLs, buyer journey, three comparable domains and current SERPs.
Output: one net-new comparison guide, two expansions to existing docs and six competitor topics excluded as off-product.
