Research Agenda · WI-GAP v1.0.0
Most knowledge platforms publish what is known. This page publishes what is not. Every tracked claim is scored on how badly it needs new primary work — thin evidence, unresolved dissent, ageing studies and a low evidence score — and paired with the study that would close the gap. The ranking is a deterministic function of the register, so anyone can reproduce it.
Of 14 tracked statements, 0 cannot be settled from the published record as it stands. The list below is ordered by how badly each one needs new primary work, and each row says what kind of study would close it.

Gap score = 0.35 × thin record + 0.25 × unresolved dissent + 0.20 × ageing evidence + 0.20 × low evidence score, each term normalised to 0–100. A thin record is measured against a reference of 12 indexed studies; ageing evidence saturates at 10 years since the most recent indexed publication. A high gap score is not a verdict on the claim — it states that the open literature cannot currently settle it.
