How to read the labels. Gap verified: two or more independent sources show existing solutions falling short. Gap contested: checked evidence on both sides. Gap not verified: a documented problem, not a proven opportunity. Confidence is never shown as high unless the gap is verified and people are shown to pay. Nothing here is a prediction of commercial success. More about the labels.
