# Run a Gap Analysis
Gap analysis uses AI to check whether your linked documents actually address each clause's requirements. It identifies clauses where you may have missing or incomplete coverage.
***
## When to Use This
* After linking your policies to clauses
* To find gaps before you start reviewing clauses
* When you want AI-generated recommendations for addressing gaps
***
## Running a Gap Analysis
1
**Go to your standard set**
Go to [**Standards**](https://app.rtosafe.com.au/Criteria/ChooseStandard) and select your standard set.
2
**Click Analyse Policy Gaps**
This starts the analysis across all clauses. The analysis runs in the background — the page refreshes automatically until it's complete.
3
**Review the results**
When complete, you'll see a heatmap showing coverage across all clauses:
* **Red** — No documents linked to this clause
* **Orange** — Documents linked but may not fully cover the requirement
Click any clause square to view its details and linked documents.
***
## Analysing a Single Clause
You can also run gap analysis on one clause at a time:
1. Open the clause details page
2. Click **Actions → Run Gap Analysis**
3. View the AI analysis and recommendations inline
This is useful when you've just linked new documents and want to check coverage for that specific clause.
***
## What Happens Next
* The analysis results are saved — you can return to view them later
* Click **Generate Recommendation** on any gap to get AI suggestions for addressing it
* You can export the gap analysis as a PDF
Gap analysis works best when you've linked all relevant policies to each clause first. Clauses with no linked documents will always show as gaps.
