Niche Coverage Analysis
Systematically define the niches or capability areas that a portfolio should cover, map candidates to those niches, and score how well the current selection covers the space.
Stages
| Stage | SOP | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | niche-definition | Define niches and capability areas to cover |
| 2 | niche-mapping | Map each candidate to its covered niches |
| 3 | coverage-scoring | Score coverage, redundancy, and gap severity |
Available SOPs
- niche-definition — Identify and describe the niches the portfolio should span
- niche-mapping — Assign candidates to niches, noting partial vs full coverage
- coverage-scoring — Compute coverage metrics and prioritize gaps
Execution Guidance
- Define niches based on domain structure, user needs, or capability taxonomy
- Aim for 4-10 niches that are mutually distinct and collectively exhaustive
- Map candidates honestly — a candidate may cover multiple niches partially
- Score coverage as fraction of niches with at least one strong candidate
- Flag gaps (uncovered niches) with severity based on importance
- Identify redundancy where multiple candidates cover the same niche
Minimum Yield
- Coverage map showing candidate-to-niche assignments
- Gap analysis identifying uncovered or under-covered niches with severity ratings
- Diversity score (0-1) summarizing overall portfolio coverage
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| coverage-scoring | Compute coverage completeness, redundancy, and gap severity scores from a coverage map. |
| niche-definition | Define niches and capability areas that a portfolio should cover based on domain structure and objectives. |
| niche-mapping | Map each candidate to the niches it covers, indicating strength of coverage for each assignment. |
