A diligence gap map is a structured list or visual map of the information, evidence, governance, legal, technical, financial, insurance, public authority, procurement, and operational questions that remain unresolved.
It does not mean formal due diligence has been performed. It does not replace investor due diligence, lender due diligence, insurance underwriting, legal due diligence, technical due diligence, procurement review, public finance review, regulatory review, environmental and social review, or assurance.
A diligence gap map may identify missing items such as legal structure, ownership, permits, public authority boundaries, technical evidence, asset data, exposure data, revenue assumptions, lifecycle cost assumptions, governance design, insurance information, resilience evidence, maintenance records, data quality, safeguards, stakeholder engagement, conflict disclosures, procurement status, or claims discipline.
The map helps participants see what work remains before a competent downstream actor could responsibly review the matter.
A safe label is:
Diligence Gap Map: This identifies unresolved questions for future review. It is not due diligence completion, financing approval, underwriting approval, procurement approval, certification, endorsement, or regulatory approval.
