Purposedifferent
GAP Analysis compares the current state with a target picture and makes the distance manageable. It becomes useful when, ahead of new initiatives, it must become clear which capabilities, processes, or resources are missing.The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible.When many hypotheses compete for attention, it brings order to their learning sequence and importance. It separates problem, assumption, solution, and evidence. The result is captured as a prioritization canvas and a hypothesis backlog.The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success.
