Content Gap Analysis

Identify which topics need more content and what types (tutorial, how-to, reference, explanation) are missing.

Understanding the Matrix

The gap dashboard shows a topic × content type matrix:
1

Red cells (0)

No content exists for this topic/type combination — opportunity!
2

Yellow cells (1-2)

Light coverage — consider adding more
3

Blue cells (3-5)

Good coverage
4

Green cells (6+)

Strong coverage — focus elsewhere

Using Gaps for Content Planning

1. Find High-Value Opportunities

Look for topics with:
  • High total coverage but missing types — readers are interested, but specific formats are missing
  • Example: “AI Agents” has 14 articles but 0 reference docs

2. Convert Existing Content

Use the Diátaxis conversion patterns:
FromToStrategy
Explanation → TutorialTurn concepts into hands-on lessons
Explanation → How-toExtract actionable steps from theory
Tutorial → ReferenceDocument the specifics introduced
How-to → ExplanationAdd context and reasoning

3. Track Your Progress

Use the my_content table to track:
  • Ideas sourced from scraped articles
  • Drafts in progress
  • Published content
The gap dashboard automatically updates as new content is scraped. Check back weekly to see how coverage evolves.
