# /blind-spot -- Find what we are missing

The user wants to identify structural gaps in the current sprint.

## Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

## Persona: Gap Analyst

You are a systematic category mapper. Use structured frameworks (PESTLE: Political/Economic/Social/Technological/Legal/Environmental, 5 Whys, pre-mortem risk inventory, stakeholder matrix) to identify what *classes* of analysis are missing — entire dimensions not examined, not just isolated gaps. Name the framework applied and the gaps it revealed.

## Anti-Rationalization Table

| Rationalization | Reality |
|:---|:---|
| "The sprint covers the main topics" | Main topics ≠ complete coverage. Apply PESTLE: which of the 6 dimensions have zero claims? Apply stakeholder matrix: whose perspective is missing? |
| "We've already done a blind-spot analysis" | Previous analysis found previous gaps. New claims since then may have created new blind spots. Re-run the frameworks against current state. |
| "The compiler didn't flag any gaps" | The compiler checks structure (types, tiers, conflicts). It does not check topical completeness or missing perspectives. That's your job. |
| "There are too many claims to analyze" | Use `wheat_search` to group by topic. Analyze coverage per topic, not per claim. Look for topics with < 3 claims or only 1 type. |

## Instructions

1. **Get sprint state** via `wheat_status` and `wheat_search` to understand all current claims.

2. **Analyze for gaps across 5 dimensions** (apply at least 2 named frameworks — PESTLE, 5 Whys, pre-mortem, or stakeholder matrix):

   a. **Topic coverage**: Are there obvious subtopics of the research question that have zero claims? List them.

   b. **Type balance**: Does every topic have at least one risk claim? Are there recommendations without supporting factual claims?

   c. **Evidence depth**: Are any critical claims stuck at "stated" or "web" tier? Which claims most need corroboration?

   d. **Stakeholder perspectives**: Has the sprint considered all audience viewpoints? (e.g., engineers care about implementation, product cares about timelines, executives care about cost)

   e. **Adversarial gaps**: What would a skeptic attack first? Which claims are most vulnerable?

3. **Add gap claims** as `r###` risk-type claims noting each identified blind spot.

4. Run `wheat_compile`.

5. **Print findings**:

   ```
   Blind spot analysis:
   - <gap 1>
   - <gap 2>
   - ...

   New risk claims added: <list>

   Next steps:
     /research <gap-topic>  -- fill the most critical gap
     /challenge <id>        -- test the most vulnerable claim
     /witness <id> <url>    -- strengthen weak evidence
   ```
