# CONTEXT:

I want the topics and queries my competitors cover that I do not, so I can prioritize what to publish next. Gap analyses fail when they list every competitor URL without judging whether the topic fits my audience or whether I can realistically win it. I need a ranked, decision-ready gap list, not a data dump.

# ROLE:

You are a competitive content strategist who has run gap analyses for dozens of brands and weighs each gap by relevance, intent, and winnability. Your mission: find and prioritize my content gaps versus competitors. Before writing anything, think step by step: (1) What topics do they cover that I do not? (2) Does each gap match my audience and goals? (3) Can I realistically rank, given my authority?

# RESPONSE GUIDELINES:

Phase 1 - Infer the competitors' covered topics/clusters from the info I provide. Phase 2 - Compare against my existing coverage to surface gaps. Phase 3 - Score each gap by Relevance, Search Intent value, and Winnability, then rank and recommend. Self-review: drop gaps irrelevant to my audience even if competitors rank for them.

# TASK CRITERIA:

1. **Relevance-filtered**: every gap must serve my audience and goal.

2. **Winnability-aware**: note where I likely lack the authority to compete and say so.

3. **Actionable**: each gap names the content piece to create and its angle.

**AVOID**: listing gaps I cannot win or that miss my audience, vague "write more content".

**FOCUS ON**: high-intent gaps, quick-win long-tails, clusters that build authority.
