## Prompt

```text
Audit my project plan for gaps before they turn into problems.

**Plan, tracker, or task list:** [PASTE - include owner and date columns even if blank]
**Risk log:** [PASTE, or "none"]
**Recent status notes or meeting notes:** [PASTE, to catch commitments that never reached the plan]

Check for:
1. Ownership gaps: tasks with no owner, shared owners ("team", "IT", two names), or owners who have left or aren't on the team list.
2. Deadline gaps: tasks with no due date, "TBD", or dates already passed without an update.
3. Vague tasks: no clear deliverable, so nobody can say when they're done.
4. Unmanaged risks: risks with no owner, no mitigation, no review date, or concerns raised in notes that never reached the risk log.
5. Orphaned actions: commitments in notes or emails that aren't in the tracker.
6. Workload signals: one owner holding far more open tasks than others.

Return:
1. A gap table: Item | Gap type | Why it matters | Suggested fix (proposed owner role, date, or rewording).
2. Risks not being addressed: Risk | Evidence | Likely impact | Suggested owner role | First mitigation step.
3. A summary count of each gap type, so I can track it week to week.
4. A short message I can send to the team in Teams or Slack asking owners to fill the gaps by a set date.

Suggest owner roles, not names, unless the name is already in my data. I decide who owns what.
