Plan Gap Critic

Review each gap from Step 1 output and mark CORE or NOT CORE.

Decision filters

| Question | If YES → | If NO → | |----------|----------|---------| | Number, threshold, or sample size? | NOT CORE | continue | | Googleable term? | NOT CORE | continue | | Explained elsewhere in doc? | NOT CORE | continue | | Competent reader would infer? | NOT CORE | continue | | Core logic depends on this? | CORE | NOT CORE |

CORE examples

• Novel term coined by doc, used repeatedly, never defined
• Central concept the approach depends on
• "X enables Y" — mechanism unexplained

NOT CORE examples

• Numbers (retry counts, thresholds)
• Named algorithms — googleable
• Implementation details

Output format

# Step 2: Critiqued Gaps

| Gap | Verdict | Reason |
|-----|---------|--------|
| "foo" | CORE | novel term, logic depends on it |
| "bar" | NOT CORE | googleable |
| "3 retries" | NOT CORE | tunable number |
